Help! I am 35 year old female with HHD, I get really bad flare ups under my breast and it seems there is nothing that helps. My skin under my breast is thin due to the steroid topicals. When I have a bad flare up I also notice a smell which my dermatologist has said it’s a yeast infection under my breast as well.Is anyone experiencing this issue?

Both of our daughters usually don’t wear a bra because if they have the HH under their breasts, it’s very painful to wear a bra, especially on the bottom of the breast and on your stomach. Thankfully they have No scaring from the blisters. Eliminating as much sugar from your diet does help. Also staying out of the sun and not sweating also helps. I am 76 and have had it my life, also 5 of my 6 brothers. Only 1 brother and my sister was lucky enough not to get it. HH is generally passed from father to daughter or Mother to son. Good Luck with it.

I also experience all of these symptoms. It seems like the only thing that really helps at all is getting g in the shower and rinsing off the affected areas. Good luck
