I have it too. I have opted to leave the antiboitics alone (got tired of the monster yeast infections) and not have surgery. Surgrery is no guarantee-- it could could come back in another spot! If I have an episode, I use vicks vapour rub. It helps draw it to a head and dull the pain. I have also known people to use tea tree oil as well. If you are overweight, try to shed some of the pounds. I did and it has work wonders! I also use HIBICLENS. It a antibacterial liquid soap that washes away bacteria. I only use it on my affected area (under my arms) and that stuff is like liquid gold! It can be purchased at any Rite-Aid or CVS. Make sure you join a support group too. It just helps to know that you are not alone and everyone is willing to share tips on how to manage HS.
