@Katastrophe69 yes, topical application. to be completely honest the docs gave me a steroid to use too, but warned me only to use it for two weeks, and the cyst wasn't gone in two weeks. i switched to the cbd oil and the progress continued. it took a while but seriously, the docs said there was almost NO chance the cyst would go away; they just hoped they could get rid of the infection. i certainly did better than that! there's a small scar but it's nothing compared to the big ugly thing it was, most of it UNDER the skin. it's all gone.

@Katastrophe69 good luck! keep in mind that skin rubbing together is going to counteract everything good you try, but that this may still work (no guarantees) over a period of time -- like two steps forward, one backwards, right? especially if you've had this a long time. i don't know what causes hs, but if it comes from anything systemic, it couldn't hurt to try taking it internally as well. know what i would do with external application? at first, choose ONE area and try it only there. then you'll really be able to see if it's working or if you're just having normal variations. again, good luck!
