So for the past few days I’ve been bleeding and draining a lot from an HS spot on my lower right abdomen. This morning, the area was noticibly puffy which made me nervous at the thought of a flare potentially brewing.

I treated the site with tea tree oil and ichtammol ointment, and applied extra bandaging since the flow of fluids was so heavy. Despite the added layers of gauze, I still drained through the top I was wearing.🙄

After returning home and changing the dressings, I could see the puffiness was still there. I used some of my topical clindamycin and covered it with new padding. After a couple hours, as I prepared to change for bed, I had once again saturated it. The cause…I don’t know…but the puffiness has gone down….. I’m thankful for that… We shall see what tomorrow brings..
