Medical Disclaimer

My HS Journey provides general information, lived experience and peer support relating to hidradenitis suppurativa.

​

I am not acting as a doctor, dermatologist, nurse, pharmacist, therapist or other healthcare professional. The website and community do not provide diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, crisis care or individual medical advice.

​

Information that is accurate or helpful for one person may not be appropriate for another. HS symptoms, treatments, medicines, allergies, other health conditions and personal circumstances vary significantly.

​

Do not start, stop, delay or change medication, wound care or treatment because of something you read on this website or in the community. Speak to your GP, dermatologist, pharmacist, nurse or another appropriately qualified professional.

​

Seek urgent medical help where symptoms may require immediate attention. My HS Journey and its WhatsApp community are not monitored as emergency services.

​

Product, food, supplement, dressing and lifestyle discussions reflect individual experiences unless expressly stated otherwise. A person sharing a positive experience does not guarantee safety or results for anybody else.

Where the website links to an external health organisation, the external organisation remains responsible for its own information.

By using this website or community, you acknowledge that you remain responsible for obtaining appropriate professional advice and making your own informed healthcare decisions.
