I suffer from hidradenitis suppurativa. It's an autoimmune linked condition that causes painful scarring boils to form on my torso and upper arms/legs. For the last eight years, I've had this well under control with a carefully calibrated and monitored medical program. It never went away, and never will, but it was manageable.
Now, something is happening, and it's out of control. I'm getting 3-4 new bleeding lesions a day now, and they're climbing higher and higher up my chest. They're also much deeper and connected by subdermal tunneling.
I know this is not a huge deal compared to my overall health, but when I bought my dress my skin looked okay. If this is coming back and spreading higher, my dress isn't going to work - it's a low-backed strapless gown. I know how long it can take to find the right treatment, and how long-lasting these scars can be, and I'm freaking..
I just wanted to look pretty on my wedding day. Ugh.
