Try wearing spandex shorts or pants under ur pants it works
Hey! sooo.. Im 23 .. and was diagnosed last year with hidradenitis suppurativa as well. I also had palinoidal cyst that is reoccuring (tailbone area, under the skin) which I have had 2 operations on in the last 5 yrs and about to go for a 3rd .. both have been painful, annoying, and at times interferring with just simple life activites. Its sad to live with sometimes, but I have accepted it and dealt with it the best I can. My surgeon actually told me as well as the specialist he sent me to that both my weight and smoking are making it worse. Therefore I cannot get an operation until I quit for atleast 3 mos,which has not been going well. For the most part I use band aids to keep my clothing from getting any drainage on them, as well as keeping one from spreading to a new sore. I have it most severly in between my thighs..few under my arms.. a couple in the buttock area and a couple that come and go between my breasts. All areas that just get soooo painful when I have an outbreak. I have seen me use a whole 100 pack of bandaids in one day :( .. Anyways, its not a curable thing.. it just requires maintenance.. most importantly.. weight loss, healthy habits (no smoking, diet) .. keeping the areas dry, anti biotics, cleansing the area with anti bacterial soaps.. and hoping for the best ! Also, it seems I have the worst breakouts right before my menstrual cycle. I hope this was helpful.. I know its a pain, but if you have these issues now, I reccommend seeing a specialist and taking care of any weight issues now rather than later. I wish I wouldn't have let it get as far as it is now for me. When I was smaller and not smoking and exercising I was not having these issues to the extent I am now.

do u get really red bumps on the back of your upper thighs also? I have the same as u mentioned above plus my legs
I am in high school and have that problem but i am skinny . what do i do please respond to my problem
I feel everyone's pain. I've honestly always been overweight and had excessive amounts of stress in my life my whole life. What I notice is that in the winter [wearing yoga pants and sweatpants] I do not have these issues. The bumps mostly go away and the discoloration isn't nearly as severe. But as soon as the summer hits, they get so bad. I get the little tiny red dots then the big penny size bumps all over my inner thighs that rub. Don't worry everyone you guys are not alone. Its definitely in my case caused by my thighs rubbing together making the friction burns which causes the discoloration. Then on top of that you have the sweating that inflamed the entire area turning all your follicles into pimple looking things. What I'm trying right now is putting Vaseline deferments rubbing areas. What also works [I've heard] is gold bond. Aloe Vera. Deoderant [Not gel]. Diaper paste. Also body glide gel. Hope this helps. Just know you guys are not alone lol I understand wearing shorts is cute but risking your thighs I feel is almost not worth it.
