Dr. Emma Has To Inject This Patient's Bottom To Stop His Chronic Boils | The Bad Skin Clinic

[@marskeins]

It took a lot of guts to get on tv and show himself to the world like this. Give him a ton of respect for that. He also just helped many many people. Praying this continues to work and helps him to live a somewhat regular life. HS is a toughie to deal with each day.

[@thisis.michelletorres444]

Awe, he was so brave to show himself. I hope treatment goes well for him and others are encouraged by his example to seek care!

[@eldrichnemo9312]

Many thanks to Aldrin for sharing his ordeal with Hidradenitis suppurativa! I don't think I've ever seen a man with this condition featured before and I'm sure he's not alone. Someone will seek help thanks to his willingness to be public and how Dr. Emma helped him!

As a man, I understand the connection between pain and aggression. You can see the look of relief on his face at about 4:01 when she gave him the diagnosis he’s been looking for 👍

[@charlie_says3841]

That's not just a male thing! Pain can make us all edgy and aggressive as it's hard to handle any extra stress when you're already dealing with physical pain.

[@extramedium1]

I have his same diagnosis and I manage not to be aggressive or an asshole. It’s interesting how men allow their discomfort to be everyone else’s problem and women always have to be positive!

[@Noone-wi1ul]

@@extramedium1That was my thought. I have HS as well as Crohn’s disease. I have not experienced a day without pain in almost two decades. Yes, it has caused depression and irritability. But never have I been aggressive towards other people because of my conditions. His aggressive demeanor seems more like an attribute of his character than his condition.

I can't believe the GP couldn't diagnose this. This was classic hydradenitis S. presentation. Disappointing for sure. I'm glad Aldrin was able to get treatment!

[@AskAlex1999]

Even I knew what it was and I’m not a doctor.

[@annamarielewis7078]

National Health doesn’t consider this a condition that needs treatment by that system. They require a specialist and payment.

[@crystalleblais9875]

I get boils around the underwear area too, I have had these chronically for the better part of 12 years. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get treatment for these boils and I'm constantly in pain as well so I totally understand how this man feels

[@ChristianKalyssa]

I would suggest looking into a condition called “hidradenitis suppertiva”, as I used to suffer with the condition. I also suggest buying “hibiclens” & applying it before each shower before washing it off, I’ve found that it at least stops boils from growing further. I wish you the best🫶🏽

[@cutypieable]

You should really go to the doctor and have him/her lance it and do a test on it. I had it once for 4 months and took antibiotics. They would go away and 2 weeks after I finished the medication it would come back. I finally went to another doctor and found out it was a staph infection. You have to take oral antibiotics and an antibiotic cream that you put in your nose several times a day. After this, I finally got rid of it. The form of staph I had was called MRSA ( can be deadly).

[@taurusrae7630]

It can also be other conditions. If you have pre-diabetes it can cause boils as the blood sugar fuels the infections. Please, go to a doctor. Many conditions can lead to life altering situations the longer they go on untreated. Love yourself and go.

[@Teresa-L.2024]

You need to see a specialist dermatologist. HS is an autoimmune condition. Getting you on a Biologic medicine can work wonders. Left untreated HS gets progressively worse leading to huge open sores. Aldrin's case was quite mild; it can get much, much worse.

[@erinkellie4078]

Me too! I've dealt with mine for maybe a little longer and i find it to be so painful and embarrassing at times. And the scarring is so ugly that I can't wear a bikini anymore. I know there are worse things. But anyway, i feel you

[@enidmiller5934]

I have suffered for over 40yrs with Boils. They are the most painful thing in the world. My largest one was the size of a softball. Thank God I finally discovered it was an allergy to bleach that caused most of them. I feel for him.

Wow! Dr Emma, you are amazing, the difference with medications is amazing. I have been in hospital and had surgery for a boil/ abscess which had to heal from the inside out, took 3-4 weeks. So I understand how painful they can be.

[@YochevedDesigns]

Aldrin has such a beautiful smile! He's very self aware to realize that his anger problems are connected to his condition, and that he's taking it out on people who don't deserve it. That's more than a lot of people are capable of. I'm so proud of him for being vulnerable enough to put this out on TV. I wish him all the very best in life from now on (and his mum, too.)

[@lorienray6216]

Happy he got the courage to see a doctor willing to help you and you listened, looking good, hope it’s controlled for life

[@kalevala29]

he looked so good and happy at the end. nice. whatever the condition, the skin is sensitive to stress and anxiety. It can be very hard but keeping a positive attitude is always beneficial.

[@sherryab3964]

My GP was able to diagnose this quite quickly . Thankfully, it’s mild in comparison to what he has. It doesn’t affect my daily life and I have medication that definitely helps control the symptoms. I couldn’t imagine having it this severe and knock wood, mind does not become this severe.

[@Colleen-w5o]

I’m happy for him

[@essieberrott9346]

Great job Dr Emma. I feel like previous doctors knew what his problem was and chose not to help him for whatever reason. I am not a doctor but I knew what his problem was whenI saw it. I could have been wrong but I was right. So happy this man is not in so much pain anymore. No one deserves to have to live like this. Again thanks to Dr. Emma.

[@Yhabd87579jd]

I had SO many boils growing up, for like two years or so. I remember a really bad one on my knee that was really big and painful. I could barely walk because bending my knee would make it hurt. It popped when I was in the car traveling to my uncle's house and then when I arrived there my mom took me to the shower, let some warm water run on top of it for a while and then she SQUEEZED the hell out of it until a huge, hard, dark yellow ball of pus came flying out followed by a lot of blood. It hurt so bad but I felt so much better instantly. I still have a scar on my knee from it even though I had it over a decade ago. That was one of the worst ones, but I also had a really bad one on my right armpit (I couldn't put my arm down), between my breasts (right where my bra strap would go), on my bum (which made it horrible to sit down on my desk during classes), on my neck (I couldn't turn my head, I had to turn my whole body to look at a different direction), under my thighs (also uncomfortable to sit), so many places. Turns out I had a weak immune system, which made it easy for bacteria to create big infections in my follicles. Thankfully I went through a treatment that made my immune system stronger and I never struggled with boils again.

Might be wrong medicine or you just haven't dialed in your dosage to what you need. Some of the meds they start on lower end cause they are serious drugs. Either way I hope you find the answer!

[@tgawron2233]

some people improve with a low carb diet. No bread, pasta sugar or any processed food

[@WooWoo-co4jf]

How did his GP not know what it was? I could have said the exact name, when Dr Emma said it I thought yeagph, that's what I was thinking of. I think so often now we see a GP who doesn't know what it is, but instead of sending us to others, out patients and consultants they give us some medication to shut us up. Which, usually doesn't work, because it's not right for the conditions we have. I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall sometimes

[@Latina-Sactown]

Honestly, I think black is beautiful. No, I don’t mean that as a cliche, but the beautiful color of his skin camouflages the intensity of the “boils”. I personally didn’t think he looked bad to begin with. I totally would date him and not give his skin issue a second thought.😍

[@sassyh1935]

[@elizabethprater-hughett8021]

I had one of these boils appear under my left armpit a couple years ago. ONE. At first, I attempted to treat it myself. It was shaped like a small hen egg. In the center was a small, reddish yellow "head" from which a light whitish liquid would leak. I tried warm compresses to get it to drain and ibuprofen for the swelling and pain. I ended up in the ER of my local hospital at around 1am on a Sunday morning. The doctor lanced it, drained it, packed it with gauze and put me on a morphine and phenergan and antibiotic drip. The pain was almost unbearable. I cannot imagine experiencing this as a chronic condition.

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

This patient is SO LUCKY to have a physician who is trained in HS. It took me until I was age 60 to find a physician who even knew what this condition was. I too have HS, stage one. This is an AUTO-INFLAMMATORY condition. These lesions flare up and are very painful and sore. Then they open and drain but prior to that the pressure is unbearable. I control mine through diet and lifestyle. I will not take steroids or other drugs for a variety of reasons - due to my other health issues. In my family there is a genetic connection my father had this,. I have HS and one of my two sons have this (plus brothers and nephews.) My only relief is going to Urgent Care for a lancing to open and drain them and my diet and lifestyle habits. AVOID SUGAR, AVOID CARBS, AVOID NIGHTSHADES as all the mentioned items are inflammatory.

[@paulahirschler6860]

I've been trying to figure out what this boil on my right side inner thigh is. I tried drying it out and it hurt way worse. I tried making the boil come to a head but it dried out so much that it scabbed, and stung becoming super sensitive. It got swollen and stung everytime I moved, hitting the elastic of my panties. I have had it opened once before and it healed but it came back several times since then. It is only one boil but it is beyond annoying. I will start doing a castor oil pack over it twice a day until it disappears.

[@theresavandever1387]

I used to get boils on my legs, under my arms and i was using one of those body scrubber puffs. And i couldn't get rid of the boils UNTIL i realized it was the body puff i was using. All it was doing was spreading them because they are caused by the bacteria staphylococcus aureus. So i started using a washcloth instead and the boils stopped. I haven't had another one since. So i threw the puff away and refuse to use them anymore. Boiled are caused by an infection and it is contagious and starts in a hair follicle or oil gland. Boils can affect any area of your body where you have hair or where running can occur, they usually form in places you sweat.

[@D_Ella1269]

HS is autoinflammatory, much different than what you're describing. The primary disease process in HS is inflammation, not infection. Infection of the lesions in HS is usually secondary to, or a by-product of, the lesions being present and/or open for long periods of time. As an example, I have lesions that have been open & draining for more than 5yrs. When we are prescribed antibiotics for HS, it's usually for their anti-inflammatory properties, not their bacteria-killing properties. I use to ask my providers to culture my lesions before I was diagnosed because I just knew these were infections. I stayed frustrated because results never showed infection. Being diagnosed was a relief because I was able to research it & finally understand wth was going on. Hope this provides some clarification.
