So a little while ago I had posted something here on my profile, (it has since been deleted.) It stated something along the lines of, “Vaginal Acne? Is this normal or should I see a doctor?” Most of you commented that it was probably just ingrown hairs and that it was normal. So I of course went along with it.

But the longer it went on the more I realized something was wrong. So of course I went to my doctor. I later found out I have a uncommon Autoimmune Disease called H.S. This was the reason for those bumps.

I cried and cried and cried because they told me it was incurable, and that I would have these painful bumps that come and go for the rest of my life.

But this week I’m getting started on medication for them and I’m really excited about it.

H.S is severely undiagnosed because most people are terrified to speak about it. It’s okay to be scared, but it’s not okay to live in pain.

If you think you could have this please go see a dermatologist or any other doctors. It’s okay to have this, it’s not your fault.

We can get through this. Together.
