could it be TRUE!!!????? (HS)
i finally got a second opinion about my dx of HS, against my doctors wishes....i saw a derm for the 1st time ever on friday morning...long story short, i explained everything to him and he took a look and he said he's 99% sure this IS NOT HS!!!!!! it was a morning full of tears and excitement quite a day for me...then left with so many thoughts boucning through my heads while getting my remicade infusion. could it really be true??? my GI/surgen was 100% sure it is HS when i asked her for a referral to see a derm she said NO and made me feel bad for doubting her! the derm wants to see me back when my "lump/bump" is inflamed or back in full force to get a culture of it but can you beleive he thinks it could be a cyst....just a simple cyst!!! i just wanted to share this with you all...ALWAYS get a second opnion, ALWAYS!! i'll keep you posted on what the final outcome is....PLEASE say a prayer for me!!!

looks like a huge boil at its worst its the size of a golf ball! derm thinks that it could very well be a cyst....just looks so pretty (not) because it has been cut open and drained too many times therefore giving it horrible scarring. if i do not have this skin disease this is one less disease that i could pass on to my children!!!! im still waiting for the full 100% certainty but gosh what a day friday was for me!!! i wanted to see a derm right away but my GI dc kept instisting that it was a waste of time and i didnt need to....but after my first 3 remicade treatments this "thing" came back in full force within 3-5 days of receiving the remicade....the derm said that right there should have been a red flag for my docs to see that remicade treats HS not aggivates it. i regret not seeing him sooner im spent the last 6 months thinking i have crohns & HS and there is now a chance i do not have to add HS to my list of diseases!!
