This is my story about my condition, Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It started when I was 9, with one lump under my right breastI freaked when I found it thinking it was breast cancer but was told it was just an infected lymph node. I went to the doctor with it, because it was very painful, and the only answer I got was here take these antibiotic's . A couple of months later the lump broke, and drained. It healed over, .

In 2005, I got really sick with my HS, and was in a lot of pain. unable to sleep in a bed, due to the pain, saw a new DR that said that I had a severe case of Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
Even when I was in the hospital, the nurses did not understand my condition, and did not care to learn about HS. It was so frustrating. So, made a appointment to see a dermatologist that had dealt with HS patient before.informing me about difrent treathment ,,,i am know 26 and seen so many Dr .Ive spent hours trying to educate myself doing reacherch....and taking pic's updating every thing...ive spread so bad and ive develop a reactive arthropathy ...joint pain due to a reactive infection (the HS boils)
