Hi everyone, i haven't read all your answers but i am 20 years old, 6 months ago i figured out what gives me boils between my thighs and butt. Potatoes! I will never eat them in my life, it may be different for others but im just giving my two cents on what could be the issue, i let people know that i am allergic to potatoes and i cant eat them, its hard because many foods include potatoes such as fries, well i just dont get fries and if i do i give them away. Another food that gives me acne around my face are tomatoes, jalapenos, and peppers, if you have not heard of nightshades i suggest you look them up, good luck everyone
PS: i still have boil scars and im trying things to get rid of them

It affects men and women. I've had it since 10 years old but didn't get accurate diagnosis until 47. Go to dermatologist who understands Hidradenitus Suppurativa.

Wow.. Just like most of you I was doing some research and stumbled upon this. I figured out a couple of years ago I have HS, just by doing research myself, any time I go to a Dr about it they know nothing, I will find good Dr soon. Anyways I feel so relieved to know I'm not the only sufferer.. this condition is so embarrassing. I was in 6th grade when first started getting them, I'll be 34 this month, so I have been dealing with this for a long time, and it seemed to have gotten worse after I had my daughter 8 years ago, anyone else that way? Does anyone know if it can be passed down to kids? I pray my daughter doesn't get it. She isn't over weight like I was/am. I recently started cutting carbs out of my eating and have lost 60 lbs since Oct but I still got a long ways to go. I'm so glad I'm not alone with this.

Wow! I'm Not Alone. I'm 33 & I've Been Dealing With This Instead Of "Typical" Acne Since Puberty! Recently, I Changed My Diet & Began To Bathe With AntiBacterial Soap Followed By Black Soap. It Is Helping! Balancing Your Ph Level Is Key!

I also have this issue however mine seems to be more blackheads than boils in between my thighs. I'm 39 now and thought it was just me.

I've been suffering from this for over 13 years now. It's created scarring, black heads, boils and darkening of the skin in between my thighs. Its so embarrassing and disgusting looking. I can't take having it anymore. I've lost weight and it's cut down a lot with the boils but I do break out with 1 or 2 around my time of the month. But the blackheads and skin darkening is horrible. I use scrubs, antiseptic wash to no avail. I think I'll try a skin peeler for the scars. Gonna do some research on a good dermatologist.

I seriously thought this happened to everyone. But my boyfriend doesn't have them, and I've talked to my friends and they never have a problem. I've been dealing with this ever since over worn shorts! I always thought it was just from thigh chaffing. This has been super helpful.

My obgyn said its just extra fat. He also said the only way to lose it was lose weight in that area. I been doing the exercise and it really works.

How has this routine worked for you? Any updates that you can give after the laser removal and peel?

I have the same thing! Finally my dermatologist agreed to put me on Humeria. I got pregnant before I started taking the drug so I don’t know if it works. Talk to her doctor about Humeria. It sounds like a serious drug but I was willing to take the risk.

I’m a 35 year old male. Ive has this for 10 years. It’s so embarrassing. it affects everything. Im a thick/beefy guy. Ive tried everything. Even skin tags have formed in the area from the constant rubbing/trauma to the area.

Im humiliated to the point where I won’t have sex. And going to the doctor for this, terrifies me. I use an anti fungal powder and it seems to have helped a little. But I’m lost :(

I have literally tried every mask- co2 laser, Ipl, Radiofrequency. The best thing by far that helped with the blackheads, bumps, resurfacing is a mask called BLUE TANSY MASK by herbivore. It is a miracle. You will not regret it. I promise.
