Hidradenitis Suppurativa After Christmas Disaster

During Christmas this year, I (being a total idiot) decided that I would wear a sweater while visiting family all day. Boy was that a H U G E mistake!  I wanted to look nice, especially for pictures.  I hadn't seen my extended family in quite a few years so I didn't want to show up in a T-shirt. As you will be able to see from the picture below, big mistake, because I was in total pain for the next 2 days.
Agony is more the word.


This picture was taken with a cell phone, but I'm sure you can see how swollen it is.




This picture was taken on the drive home the following night in the car, in the freezing weather!! I had to wear a tank top...brrrrrr!!  I was thankful it busted because I knew that would be some relief.
