- 2:02my channel make sure that you click like
- 2:03and I'm assuming you came to this video
- 2:05because you wanted to know more make
- 2:06sure that you check some of my older
- 2:08videos on this I have several I'll make
- 2:10sure I link some of the more recent ones
- 2:11down below so check out the description
- 2:13box but let me tell y'all what
- 2:15hidradenitis is hidradenitis suppurativa
- 2:17is a skin condition that takes many
- 2:20forms some doctors and researchers have
- 2:22referred to it if even somewhat like in
- 2:24autoimmune disease it takes the form of
- 2:26small pimple like bumps deep acne like
- 2:29nodules or even boils the lesions or
- 2:32these areas are really really painful
- 2:34like y'all I will up with tears when I
- 2:36think about how painful they actually
- 2:38are they grow in places that rub
- 2:40together or sweat a lot your armpits are
- 2:42in your growing area or that area right
- 2:45there in the crease of your legs where
- 2:48it rubs together in shapes and cause a
- 2:50lot of sweating and also a lot of
- 2:52friction so scars and tracks can develop
- 2:55under your skin after these lesions heal
- 2:57too so sometimes these boils these
- 2:59wounds or these pimples can end up
- 3:01draining draining pus or things like
- 3:03that and causing a lot of damage to the
- 3:06skin this condition occurs when sweat
- 3:08glands or hair follicles become blocked
- 3:10and then inflamed but some of the things
- 3:12that are thought to really aggravate it
- 3:13are various health conditions smoking
- 3:16habits and even your family history it's
- 3:18not necessarily caused by infections or
- 3:20poor hygiene so don't let anybody make
- 3:22you feel bad about yourself saying
- 3:25you're dirty or nasty you didn't do
- 3:27anything wrong or directly wrong to
- 3:29yourself - cause this issue if you do
- 3:31have hidradenitis or you believe that
- 3:33you do you are not dirty you're not a
- 3:35bad person you have not done anything
- 3:37wrong and y'all know every video I'm
- 3:40doing this I cry and I'm not gonna sit
- 3:42up here and cry but I will say that it
- 3:44was frightening to not know what was
- 3:46going on my body now I'm so happy that
- 3:48I've reduced the flare-ups significantly
- 3:51like I told you guys I might get one a
- 3:53year if that I don't even think I saw
- 3:56one this year or last year so I have
- 3:59been in great shape but to not know
- 4:01what's going on with your body it's a
- 4:02scary place and I understand because
- 4:05I've listened to the strength of your
- 4:06emails that come in to me we all tell me
- 4:09your stories I relate and I might not be
- 4:11able to respond to everybody but this is
- 4:13my way of responding and tell you to
- 4:15keep your head held high hopefully
- 4:18working through the issues working with
- 4:20a doctor working with yourself doing
- 4:22some research and my videos will bring
- 4:23you some kind of relief so hopefully
- 4:25this gave you a good look at what this
- 4:27is so to tell you guys a little bit
- 4:29about my story I was diagnosed with
- 4:30hidradenitis at about the age of 20
- 4:32which we know it's a tender age I was in
- 4:35college I was doing my thing but I
- 4:37noticed that every now and again
- 4:38especially when I was stressed out and
- 4:40at that time as you all know I was a
- 4:42hundred and eight pounds heavier it's
- 4:44always much heavier so I had a lot more
- 4:46friction and sweating and a lot of other
- 4:49things happening with my body as well so
- 4:51I went into the doctor because I didn't
- 4:53know what was going on it to be honest
- 4:55all I knew about at that time was
- 4:56sexually transmitted diseases I didn't
- 4:58know what was going on all I knew is
- 5:00that I was getting large pus-filled
- 5:01boils whether they came under my arms
- 5:03sometimes or down in that inner area of
- 5:05my thighs I was like embarrassed because
- 5:08I didn't know what was going on or what
- 5:09was happening and nobody was talking
- 5:11about it so when I went to my doctor she
- 5:13didn't really know a whole lot about it
- 5:15and I had already kind of done some
- 5:17research and she and I talked about it
- 5:18and later when she did tell me she felt
- 5:20that it was hard right at night
- 5:21since so did I so make sure that if
- 5:23you're gonna go into the doctor if
- 5:25you're afraid that this is what you're
- 5:26facing go with research in him not all
- 5:29doctors or healthcare providers know
- 5:31what this is what I did was I went in
- 5:33when was actually active I showed her
- 5:35the scarring she saw it she knew what
- 5:37was going on she was able to research I
- 5:39was able to research and that was what
- 5:41we came to that was a big reason for why
- 5:44I made such a drastic change in my life
- 5:46and I lost most of the weight because I
- 5:48noticed that there were a lot of areas
- 5:50of chafing and a lot of times rubbing up
- 5:52against my clothes things like that
- 5:53we're causing me great discomfort and I
- 5:56was noticing that there were more flares
- 5:57at that time the doctor also recommended
- 6:00that I lost weight at that time even
- 6:01though she wasn't very familiar with the
- 6:03disease she thought that that would be
- 6:05good just because of the areas in which
- 6:06I was getting boils and scars that's
- 6:08around the time that I went natural I
- 6:10started really caring for my body I
- 6:11started watching the things I was
- 6:13putting in my body and on my body so it
- 6:15made me a lot more health conscious it
- 6:17also helped me to propel myself to share
- 6:20my stories with you guys and over the
- 6:21years you all have really poured into me
- 6:24with emails and everything letting me
- 6:26know about your hidradenitis
- 6:27difficulties if you're really
- 6:29questioning something about your health
- 6:31you should definitely go and see your
- 6:32doctor it's always good to do your own
- 6:35research as well especially if you know
- 6:36or even if you don't know when you have
- 6:38a similar issue it's always great to
- 6:40learn natural remedies and things that
- 6:42you can do on your own to keep yourself
- 6:43healthy so while there's a lot of
- 6:45treatment options including medication
- 6:47today my whole focus is really showing
- 6:49you things you can do for yourself
- 6:51things that can really work things that
- 6:53you might have around the house and some
- 6:54things you might want to go out and get
- 6:56and try out all the items that I'm
- 6:57talking about today can be found down
- 6:59below in the information section if you
- 7:01can relate to my story or if you have a
- 7:03story of your own let me know by
- 7:05clicking like and also commenting down
- 7:07below with some of the things that
- 7:08you've endured maybe because you don't
- 7:11know if you have this or if you do we're
- 7:13in a no-judgment zone over here we just
- 7:14like to discuss and we like to solve
- 7:16issues if we can let me jump right into
- 7:19some ways for you to reduce your pain
- 7:20flare-ups boils as well as the scarring
- 7:23I'm not saying to use all of these
- 7:25things at once I'm saying to try what
- 7:28might work for you of what you already
- 7:30have around and give it a shot see what
- 7:33might work for you ever
- 7:34thing does not need to be tried at once
- 7:36and remember I've always told you guys
- 7:38sometimes it takes about six weeks or
- 7:40more to see a process through some of us
- 7:43want such a quick fix that we think that
- 7:45it should happen overnight and it's not
- 7:47our bodies weren't built overnight our
- 7:49genetics didn't come overnight it takes
- 7:51time so be patient with your body you
- 7:54might be causing yourself more stress
- 7:56which means more flare-ups by being too
- 7:58hard on yourself so when I feel a boil
- 8:00coming on or I think that something is
- 8:03happening right under my skin I love to
- 8:05reach for a hot compress but I'm very
- 8:07careful about this because a lot of
- 8:08times we think that a hot compress just
- 8:10has to be a warm towel but I've learned
- 8:13and I've done my research dry sources of
- 8:15heat are much better for you because you
- 8:17want to keep that area dry remember a
- 8:19lot of it is aggravated because those
- 8:21sweat glands are aggravated so you want
- 8:23to make sure that you keep that area
- 8:24clean and dry so what I love to use is
- 8:28my heating pad y'all have seen this in
- 8:30other videos I have this link down below
- 8:32in the information section of this video
- 8:34but I love it because it has adjustable
- 8:36heat settings easy power button it's
- 8:39soft and it's gentle and I know that it
- 8:42heats to a nice capacity I use it for
- 8:44everything even my minstrel period in
- 8:46cycle making sure that you keep a direct
- 8:49source of heat that should dry around
- 8:51you even maybe a hot water bottle those
- 8:54are really good as well because those
- 8:55are drier sources of heat dry sources of
- 8:57heat are good instead of reaching for
- 8:59its house y'all know how I feel about
- 9:01towels and skin anyway because the
- 9:04towels can secretly carry bacteria even
- 9:06if you're very clean that there's not a
- 9:08thing you ate that you're dirty
- 9:09but sometimes towels over time they're
- 9:11just taking a lot of bacteria and even
- 9:14in the washing machine you can't trust
- 9:16that it gets 100% of the bacteria out so
- 9:19the last thing you want to do with a
- 9:20boil or open star is put something on it
- 9:23that could be a source of frustration
- 9:24for you later on I think y'all can tell
- 9:26I have a great respect for but me a tea
- 9:29tree are we right here
- 9:30I love tea tree oil and it's become one
- 9:33of my best friends tea tree oil is not
- 9:35only a great source for healing scars
- 9:37but it's also antiseptic antibacterial
- 9:40antifungal and antiviral I taught you
- 9:43about scars in a recent video so this
- 9:45one is really
- 9:46good specifically at the scars caused by
- 9:48boils and acne I've never used tea tree
- 9:51oil straight I always tell you guys that
- 9:54some people can some people's skin can
- 9:56handle that but my sensitive skin is
- 9:58only more aggravated when I do so what I
- 10:00normally do is combine tea tree oil with
- 10:02like a coconut oil or a olive oil and
- 10:05all you need is a few drops and then you
- 10:08spread that on that area or around that
- 10:11area I found this to be particularly
- 10:13helpful because my boils I noticed and I
- 10:16pinpointed this and click like if you
- 10:17can relate a 10-point that a lot of
- 10:19times they would happen around my
- 10:20menstrual cycles so I really keep the
- 10:23tea tree oil around them so if I'm
- 10:25feeling anything weird under the skin I
- 10:27go ahead and I reach for that mixture
- 10:28the great thing about tea tree oil is it
- 10:30also can assist in diminishing the scar
- 10:33after your boil is healing whenever I
- 10:35use the mixture I use it about twice a
- 10:37day it helps to replace old skin cells
- 10:39with new skin cells it soothes it
- 10:41cleanses and it also helps to tighten
- 10:43the skin it reduces skin inflammation
- 10:45and it offers relief from mild
- 10:48inflammation one thing I want to remind
- 10:49you of is you never want to put anything
- 10:52like tea tree oil or any other treatment
- 10:54directly into an open lesion my next
- 10:56favorite thing y'all have heard about
- 10:58before I've talked about neem oil
- 11:00I love neem oil to the core it is an
- 11:03amazing oil it reduces redness bacteria
- 11:07and also inflammation which we know that
- 11:10most of these boils are really highly
- 11:12inflammation which can lead to better
- 11:14healing of scars and wounds I usually
- 11:16take a little named oil add it to a
- 11:18cotton pad and rub it right over that
- 11:20area as long as it's not open if you do
- 11:23have an open area just rub it around
- 11:25that area I do not put it inside the
- 11:27area and if I do remember sometimes I'll
- 11:30take it and mix it with just aloe vera
- 11:32gel which is going to help to moisturize
- 11:33and soothe the skin or I'll mix it with
- 11:36a little bit of honey or even a little
- 11:38tumeric y'all know I love my tumeric and
- 11:40the reason why I like those combination
- 11:43is those three separate combinations
- 11:44it's because they really help with the
- 11:46healing of scars and wounds I found with
- 11:48the name oil or even the tea tree oil my
- 11:51boil area just starts to feel much
- 11:53better it almost feels like it's
- 11:54starting to heal much faster when I use
- 11:57them
- 11:57speaking of tumeric you should not be
- 12:00afraid of tumeric
- 12:01now y'all have seen me use it in a gang
- 12:03of videos and I know that tumeric can
- 12:05get messy biking styles that are already
- 12:07staying with tumeric and I don't let it
- 12:09get anywhere near my clothes also if
- 12:11you're gonna use tumeric maybe keep
- 12:13things around like little gloves or even
- 12:16paper towels so you don't have to deal
- 12:18with the cleanup after turmeric has very
- 12:20strong anti-inflammatory antimicrobial
- 12:22and antibacterial properties it can aid
- 12:26in reducing inflammation and they also
- 12:27help to prevent infection from forming
- 12:30y'all know I can get real extra with my
- 12:32tumeric mixes if you want to keep it
- 12:33real simple you can add a little bit of
- 12:35tumeric with a little bit of coconut oil
- 12:37or a carrier oil something like olive
- 12:40oil just something to give it a little
- 12:41bit of a nice rich property I apply that
- 12:44and leave it on that area for about 15
- 12:47minutes and let it dry now be careful
- 12:49because some people will find that their
- 12:50skin is so sensitive that turmeric does
- 12:52not sit well with them or they cannot
- 12:54leave it on the skin that long if it
- 12:56becomes too warm or it feels irritated
- 12:57wash it off and let your body calm down
- 13:00before you try it again so another great
- 13:02quick remedy is honey y'all know I love
- 13:05honey because honey is a humectant it
- 13:07puts moisture back into the skin and a
- 13:09lot of times when we get these boil
- 13:11scars or we get these wounds or things
- 13:13like that a big problem with them it's
- 13:15not only just keeping them dry first off
- 13:18you have to really err on the side of
- 13:19caution because you have to put moisture
- 13:22back into your skin so you have to watch
- 13:23it even though you want to keep the
- 13:25wound dry you want to make sure that the
- 13:27skin around it is staying moisturize so
- 13:30that you don't cause further irritation
- 13:31which as we know if you got the right
- 13:33type of skin it can cause more boils
- 13:35much like turmeric honey has also been
- 13:38used for its antimicrobial and
- 13:40anti-inflammatory properties as well
- 13:42honey also has antibacterial properties
- 13:45that could help with preventing
- 13:46infections so why you can do honey by
- 13:48itself you can also mix a little bit of
- 13:50honey with a little bit of tumeric I put
- 13:52all the exact amounts down below in the
- 13:54information section so with this
- 13:56powerful mixture I usually leave it on
- 13:57about 15 to 20 minutes and then I rinse
- 13:59it off completely now if your skin can
- 14:02take it here's some other quick remedies
- 14:05that are a lot stronger than the ones
- 14:07I've already mentioned so I'm trying to
- 14:08step it up for
- 14:09rubbing alcohol it's a strong
- 14:11disinfectant it helps to remove dirt and
- 14:14other materials from clogged pores and I
- 14:16know for me during flare-ups it helps to
- 14:19reduce a lot of pain and inflammation
- 14:20give it a test run make sure that your
- 14:23skin can handle the alcohol basically
- 14:25you just add it to a cotton pad and
- 14:27apply word of caution if you've ever
- 14:29felt how rubbing alcohol feels on a open
- 14:31wound oh my goodness you will be on fire
- 14:34so please avoid the open portion of a
- 14:37boil if it's closed
- 14:38I usually go over the whole boil however
- 14:40if it's open if unless you want to be on
- 14:42fire do it at your own risk
- 14:44but I'm very careful about making sure
- 14:46that skin is not broken open before I
- 14:48put rubbing alcohol on it a next strong
- 14:50and powerful one is apple cider vinegar
- 14:52while I don't find this one to be as
- 14:54powerful in terms of reducing the
- 14:57flare-ups I'd but I do find it that
- 14:59prevents a lot of bacteria from growing
- 15:00which reduces the probability that I'll
- 15:03get more boils that take a cotton pad
- 15:05with a little bit of the apple cider
- 15:06vinegar and I literally just let it sit
- 15:09on the area just like I would the
- 15:10heating pad what I find is especially
- 15:12when it's fresh and the skin is not
- 15:14broken
- 15:15I find a little relief in that it keeps
- 15:16that area clean and keeps a lot of that
- 15:18bacteria away this next one is big watch
- 15:21what you shave so we're moving hair from
- 15:24the underarms and the pubic area could
- 15:26help to reduce your flare-ups actually
- 15:28and a lot of research that I've done on
- 15:30it and with my own body keeping their
- 15:32hair gone more regularly has given me so
- 15:35much relief however I do not and will
- 15:39not shave if I have an act of flare-up
- 15:41you are not going to shave over a boil
- 15:43or won't and if shaving does not work
- 15:46for you for some it just does not make
- 15:48sure you go in to your doctor or
- 15:49dermatologist to find out the best move
- 15:52for you in terms of hair removal while I
- 15:53have a lot of videos with shading in
- 15:55them I can't even count them I have a
- 15:57recent one that's how to shave
- 15:58everywhere check that video out but I'm
- 16:01gonna go over just some quick tips in
- 16:02terms of Shaving especially when you
- 16:05have high dry tinnitus now again when
- 16:07you have a chest especially when it's
- 16:09active you might want to choose not to
- 16:10shave it can be a whole problem even
- 16:12when H s is not active but what I start
- 16:15off with when I do shave I like to
- 16:17ensure that the body has been fully
- 16:19exfoliated in all areas are clear of
- 16:22anger
- 16:22hairs or any problems with hair
- 16:25follicles things like that and that's a
- 16:27light exfoliation so I use things like
- 16:29loofahs or brushes or a nice sugar scrub
- 16:32I also use the best in a razor so for me
- 16:34my skin really likes the Schick Hydro
- 16:36silk which has a nice moisture band
- 16:38across it and the nice bikini trimmer on
- 16:41the other end which is electronic and I
- 16:43also use my mirror honey we have to
- 16:46check those hair follicles before we go
- 16:48over anything you want to make sure even
- 16:50if you don't feel it you're not shaving
- 16:51over anything that could be active and
- 16:53caused you problems and these blunted
- 16:55edge scissors are everything because you
- 16:58want to cut down the hair first and
- 17:00minimize the amount of times you have to
- 17:02pass that razor across your skin we know
- 17:04that with H s that can add extra
- 17:06difficulties in terms of what to shave
- 17:09with you want something nice and thick
- 17:10and rich that's going to condition the
- 17:12skin I either like suave coconut
- 17:14conditioner or my personal favorite
- 17:16which is the pure silk
- 17:19y'all know our rocks with this it's
- 17:20really thick and rich and it also has
- 17:22made sure that I have enough slip on my
- 17:25blade you definitely don't want to be
- 17:27cutting and scraping at all especially
- 17:30with HS you only want a nice thin layer
- 17:33as well because this is gonna serve as a
- 17:35guide for you it's gonna help you to see
- 17:37where you shaved and where you have not
- 17:39because you don't want to go over areas
- 17:41more times than needed remember our skin
- 17:44is very sensitive I also do the same
- 17:48practice between my legs up towards my
- 17:50pubic area and higher upper legs which
- 17:53we know can be prone to a lot of these
- 17:56boils when shaving make sure that you're
- 17:58going with the direction of your hair
- 18:00the way that it grows the way your hair
- 18:02grows that means you need to take time
- 18:04to investigate look and see what you're
- 18:06shaving and in what direction you need
- 18:08to shave in my hair tends to grow upward
- 18:10mostly and downward up towards that
- 18:13pubic region so you want to make sure
- 18:15you follow that guide and only shave up
- 18:18for the area once especially underneath
- 18:21the arms and up towards that pubic area
- 18:23or specifically in that area because we
- 18:26know that's where HS lives to minimize
- 18:29irritation make sure that you take your
- 18:31time and rinse off completely
- 18:32thoroughly with lukewarm water not hot
- 18:36water lukewarm and also use a cold
- 18:38compress if you should need it after you
- 18:40hop out of the shower or wherever you
- 18:43say I then make sure that I moisturize
- 18:44preferably with a non-sentient lotion
- 18:47and also with a little bit of oil to
- 18:49seal in the moisture I have a lot of
- 18:52remedies over on my video on how to
- 18:54shave and others that I've linked down
- 18:56below for you so check those out for
- 18:57aftershave remedies but I also make sure
- 19:00that I clean my razor with nice rubbing
- 19:03alcohol which is amazing for killing
- 19:05bacteria and I hang it somewhere or put
- 19:07it somewhere where it can stay dry and
- 19:10avoid bacteria I also like to change my
- 19:13heads of my razor about every five to
- 19:15six shades this is sure that it's clean
- 19:18and good to go
- 19:19the next thing is to maintain your
- 19:21hygiene showering daily is essential for
- 19:25a person prone to boils in hidradenitis
- 19:27you want to make sure that you're doing
- 19:28a daily wash of dirt and debris that
- 19:30ends up on your skin you want to use a
- 19:32non comedogenic body wash something
- 19:34that's not going to clog your pores you
- 19:36want to keep those pores nice and free
- 19:38you also want to get clear and hip on
- 19:40the products that you use outside of the
- 19:42shower so your lotions your oils your
- 19:44shampoos and your conditioners all of
- 19:46that can play a part in aggravating
- 19:48hidradenitis and boils
- 19:50let me get y'all some quick
- 19:51recommendations on the showering tip I
- 19:53ensure I bathe with a sponge or loofah
- 19:56and I use castile soap this is the most
- 19:59mild and gentle form of soap on my skin
- 20:02and I just love it
- 20:03I also like to make sure that I get
- 20:05those sensitive areas that are prone to
- 20:07HS like underneath the arms all in the
- 20:11areas in which you can sweat like
- 20:12underneath your breasts also be low all
- 20:16the way up and all the way down you want
- 20:18to make sure you're cleansing your skin
- 20:19fully I usually run through this two to
- 20:21three times to ensure my skin is clean
- 20:24and I'm only showering in lukewarm water
- 20:27hot water can serve as a huge irritant
- 20:30so stop boiling your skin clean yeah and
- 20:34you also want to make sure you rinse
- 20:36thoroughly and any items that you used
- 20:38to wash hang them where they can dry
- 20:41thoroughly and take your time and rinse
- 20:43those out when necessary as will you
- 20:45throw your Lula's and your sponges in
- 20:47the wash down below and my lady vì love
- 20:50to use honeypot which is a nice
- 20:52cleansing foaming wash that I find safe
- 20:55to use across my body does not irritate
- 20:57me and you can get it sent free I also
- 21:00use just my hands down there and I do
- 21:03not rub hard another thing to keep in
- 21:06mind is making sure your padding dry and
- 21:09as far as my towel use I only use my
- 21:12towels one to two times before throwing
- 21:15them in the wash to keep away from
- 21:17buildup of bacteria
- 21:19the next thing is eat more foods with
- 21:21zinc is no shock than most the videos we
- 21:23all see me cooking or making things I'm
- 21:26eating foods that are full of zinc zinc
- 21:28helps to reduce inflammation and
- 21:30swelling in your body
- 21:31foods with zinc include spinach lentils
- 21:34tofu chia seeds quinoa avocado almonds
- 21:39wasters crab lamb chickpeas black beans
- 21:42Greek yogurt cashews and even cheddar
- 21:45you all see me cooking with a lot of
- 21:47these things often you should also be
- 21:49making every effort to eat
- 21:51anti-inflammatory foods these help to
- 21:53reduce swelling and inflammation
- 21:54following that type of diet can
- 21:57definitely help with reducing flare-up
- 21:59and also may help to reduce active
- 22:01flare-ups more quickly some of the
- 22:02things high on the list of
- 22:04anti-inflammatory foods include cinnamon
- 22:06salmon walnuts green tea ginger dark
- 22:10chocolate Whaley fish fresh fruits and
- 22:12vegetables and sources of healthy fats
- 22:14like nuts and seeds another thing that
- 22:17you should know in your quick list is to
- 22:18keep your wounds protected when the
- 22:20boils start to heal and scar over one of
- 22:23the best things in order to keep your
- 22:24scarring minimal is to make sure they're
- 22:26moisturized and they're covered
- 22:28especially when you're going to be out
- 22:29in the Sun make sure that you're
- 22:31cleaning that wound daily you want to
- 22:33keep it clean covered and you also want
- 22:35to keep it more moisturized with
- 22:36something like an antibiotic ointment I
- 22:39love making sure that I keep my wound
- 22:41wash around for just this purpose and as
- 22:43it gets older you want to keep it Sun
- 22:45protected so you'll want to add
- 22:47something like a SPF I love the Mederma
- 22:50with SPF in it because Mederma helps to
- 22:53heal wounds and scars but it also can
- 22:55have as
- 22:56you have to buy the one with the SPF
- 22:58other than that I love the Mederma
- 23:00nighttime in the regular mederma those
- 23:02are great gels and lotions to ensure
- 23:04that your body is starting to heal
- 23:05correctly I promise y'all that it's been
- 23:07major key for me
- 23:08so y'all there's also deeper and more
- 23:10long-term treatment as well in one of my
- 23:13recent videos I showed you guys how to
- 23:14make an oil in a butter in order for you
- 23:17to have the most healing properties

- 23:28and hyperpigmentation caused by the
- 23:30scarring check it out at the link down
- 23:32below in the description box and I'll
- 23:34make sure I'll link it in this video is
- 23:35so on in this video when the note of
- 23:37everyday fix it's just some quick common
- 23:40things you can do that might seem small
- 23:42in nature but they help a whole lot one
- 23:45thing is wearing more breathable
- 23:46clothing options I found with more
- 23:48breathable clothing options my body is
- 23:50able to feel free feel more easy and
- 23:52breezy not as much chance for those
- 23:54sweat glands to flare up or those
- 23:56clogged pores and my body feels amazing
- 23:59you know it's not always about fashion
- 24:00with me you guys love my flowy dresses
- 24:02I'm a flower child look however is also
- 24:05for my health a lot of the tight-fitting
- 24:06things that are gonna call chafing and
- 24:08rubbing against the body are not good
- 24:10for my skin remember to keep the area
- 24:12dry especially when a boil or wound is
- 24:15open if it stays moist it's gonna
- 24:17promote the growth of fungus and also
- 24:19bacteria if you smoke stop that's it
- 24:22that's all on that one because smoking
- 24:23is said to help in the aid of flare-up
- 24:25keep your clothes towels and shower area
- 24:28very clean I wash things often because
- 24:30bacteria build up especially as a person
- 24:33who works out a lot or even not can
- 24:36cause a lot of flare-ups and last but
- 24:39certainly not least and let me tell you
- 24:41this is not about fat shaming this is
- 24:43not about telling you everything is due
- 24:45to gaining weight now a lot of science
- 24:47and research does not say that this will
- 24:49work for everybody but it will certainly
- 24:51work for some naturally working on your
- 24:53body weight and keeping it at a healthy
- 24:55level for you will reduce a lot of
- 24:57chafing a lot of rubbing together a lot
- 25:00of clogged pores a lot of sweating all
- 25:02things that add to hidradenitis and boil
- 25:05flare-ups so it may be a good idea to
- 25:07start to work through the pain
- 25:09and try to exercise a little bit to get
- 25:11your body size down as much as you can
- 25:13in order to avoid a lot of the sweating
- 25:15and extra moisture it might be something
- 25:17that puts you ahead of the game I know
- 25:19that it was great for me to do I'm not
- 25:21saying it's gonna necessarily work and
- 25:22cure all your problems but it might be a
- 25:24part of the solution so I hope today has
