Your poor patient must have been in so much pain. He’s an absolute legend for allowing us to see his treatment. Thank you both for sharing this with us.
@@bigrooster6893HD has zero correlation with weight but I did ask the doc if smoking does aggravate this syndrome. Let’s be kind we don’t know his story
I have HS and get these on my inner thighs (thankfully not much anymore because of my own awesome derm!) When they get to this point, you can't even think. Your brain is just PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN. It kinda makes me chuckle that you are asking all of these questions about the light being too bright, the tenderness of it, and I guarantee you the only thing in his brain is RELEASE IT ALREADY! It feels sooooo much better when they finally open up, that nothing before that even matters anymore. I love that you do this for your patients.
@@skyemccoy5992 well I want to say that I am under the supervision of a dermatologist, so please don't do this without talking to one -- I am on an antibiotic every day, the first half of the month I use Hibiclens and the 2nd half I use a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream. I am also on a med that is made for gout. (the antibiotic is minocycline and the gout med is colchicine). I also wear TomboyX underwear that are like boxers so my legs stay dry and don't rub together. I hope some of this helped! Also, my doc said the next step was to start doing an injectable med, but I haven't needed it yet. I hope yours gets better, I know how much it sucks!!!!
@@saskiadavies111 yeah, I am very lucky. The other miserable part is that when it's on your thighs, and they are uncontrolled, they bleed all the time. I had to be very careful what surfaces I sat on and always had to check if I bled through. It's no fun.
The gentleman was so incredibly stoic. Even though he said it didn’t hurt much I’m sure it hurt like heck. He appears to have a high pain tolerance. Such a strong person. You are always so kind and caring to your patients, they are fortunate to have found you💙💛
I really admire this patient. Able to laugh when he's hurting like hell. Cooperating while tolerating as much pain as he can. I caught his sly joke, too. Obviously a fan of the channel
My bff would get these in the crese of her skin and she could move and it would send a shooting pain through, you could see her body jerk when it happened, some were so painful her husband would have to bust some of them with a needle. I lost her to breast cancer 3 years ago. I love you to the moon and back Becky.
I had the same thing happen when I was 20 right below my abdomen. Couldn't even button my pants. The needle for the numbing was horribly painful and I cried.
I really like how patients will ask questions and otherwise engage with Greg. That means he’s built a rapport with them or projects a mellow demeanor. The poor guy was a trooper because that looked agonizing! It’s great that he was willing to share a vulnerable time with us so we can better understand HS. 🤩
Hi Dr. Greg: My daughter has HS and goes to UNC/Chapel Hill, NC for help. There was a doctor there that would remove her skin and let the wound heal from inside out. That worked awesome as the areas never has had any return of HS. She has had several spaces on her body down this way. However, the dr. was a 3rd year resident and moved somewhere to critique his technical skills. You are awesome and I love watching your videos. Beth/NC
Seeing your patient and his treatment reminds me, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.” This condition seems so painful and debilitating. I hope your patient is feeling better very soon.
Oh that poor, poor man. I hate to imagine how much pain he must have been in. He must have felt so much better afterwards. I hope he doesn’t get any more, bless him.
I'm so happy to see i wasnt the only one wanting to come down here and give compliments to the patient. He seems like such a sweet heart and did great ❤
I felt so bad for him, he had to be in horrible pain. Thank God Dr. Greg to the rescue! Never have I seen so much icky fied drainage either. I'm so glad he is feeling better and healing great. Thank you for sharing and popping by for us. Perfectly done Mr. Popzit!
I really feel for this guy as he is dealing with a lot at once. He has clearly had fairly major operation recently and a huge cyst right along his surgical incision, plus other cysts below and I’m sure elsewhere. That’s a lot to deal with at once. And he must have been in a lot of pain regardless of being numbed up. Hopefully this gives him a lot of relief and is the end of all his health issues xx
This was ANGRY before you opened it up! The waterfall of goo and cyst material that started at 3:45 was amazing! It immediately deflated once you got everything out. He will definitely feel better tonight. Can't wait to see the follow-up ❤
I love your procedures and a true fan of yours. I have viewed many, and you are my very favorite. My birthday today, 82 yrs young❤❤love to your family!
Ouch! That poor man having to deal with the pain of surgery and abscesses all at the same time. That area looked incredibly painful. He handled that like a trooper. I wish you a full recovery sir. 🤗
Poor man!!! That was huge, and he had to have been in horrible pain. So glad you were able to get that drained so he could get some sleep! Hoping for updates. Thank you, Greg.
I have HS. I get 4 or 5 outbreaks a year, but none this large. Mine appear in my urinary area that make sitting and cleaning extremely uncomfortable. They are SOOO very painful! I feel for you Sir! 🙏🏾
I'm so sorry. How horrific especially in the area yours are. Must be a nightmare keeping it all clean and having to be so careful where you sit. Hope you are feeling better. I have several issues unrelated to HS but none the less my pain in the pelvic, lower spine, and urinary area make my life a living h#ll many times. Constantly have to worry about surfaces and hate using public restrooms. Chronic pain & worrying about infection is just the worst. I get it & it sucks. So sorry you deal with this.
@@debbiefox6846 I'm sorry for you as well! I wish I knew what triggers them to appear. I've read that they occur more often in overweight Black women. That's me! The boils are usually about the size of a grape. Since they're way too painful to squeeze, I've found that using Vicks Vapor Rub helps them to come to a head and naturally rupture. Good luck to you!
@claudiaharrison5765 honey, I has HS as well and have gotten the worst on my inner thighs/pelvic area and they are just horrific!!!! Have you tried a topical called "Boil Ease"? If, not give it a shot! It helps with pain and helps clear em up.
This one really got me! I felt so sorry for this nice man, that looked so incredibly sore & I can't say that I'd be as calm under such obvious pain. I sincerely hope this is the last of these things he has to endure. What a legend!
I feel so deeply for this man. I cannot imagine what this is like. Elated and relieved that he got your care. What relief he must feel not only mentally but physically too. You're such a wonderful and caring doctor.
Hopefully your patient is able to see these comments, and I think he is the bravest one for the procedure he shared with us. Hope he feels better soon and you are the best. Thank you for keeping him free of pain.
The release must of been the best feeling ever for this man, know when i release mine the relief is nearly instant (i tend to get a inflamed cyat/abscess about once a month due to HS and a number of other conditions like diabetes). Thanks so much to him for sharing 😊
You're the best, Doc! I know how painful HS is, & that abscess was so full & so hot. The way he jumped in pain when the 1st Lido shot went in made me so sad for him but you made it go away real fast with your wonderful bedside manner. This was another great video. I sure hope his f/u goes really well ❤
God Bless You, Greg for your skills & empathy. This case hurts my heart. Reading your description, followed by hearing this patient interact with you & there is no doubt he is a special guy. ❤ I have HS also, but I get to Praise God that my cysts & abscesses have never been this severe. I wish I could trade this sweet gentleman so he would have something less to deal with. 😢
oooooh i didn't expect to cry. Jesus i just want to hug him. When you sliced it. I know in MY SOUL that PRESSURE RELEASE felt like everything but hurt all at the same time.My very first episode had to be drained like this under both arms at the same time. I was so scared. As some with HS who diagnosed herself in 2009 with NO HELP FROM ANY OF MY DR.'S. this made me tear up. Your such a good dr. I can tell. I wish I had you!! I can tell because you never once mentioned surgery. this is exactly how you handle something like.
I had a friend that I would accompany to his HS drainage appts. His normally near lymph nodes in his underarms. Just from observing the immense pain of the procedure, it always made me wonder why there aren't more stages with anesthetic in between the digging and expression of pus. I wont even get into the chronic pilonidal cysts he would have to endure and packing removal was always an added treat.
I had a pilondial cyst 20 years ago and I wouldn’t wish that sort of pain on anyone. I was initially misdiagnosed and then a NP found diagnosed me correctly. The smell alone was brutal.
I just had to do a similar drainage oit of an axillary abscess for a patient with likely HS. It is so hard to get these patients really numb in the area and you feel bad hitting the worst pressure spots. Needs to be done for many though. Thanks Greg and thanks to your patient.
You're so gentle with the needle Greg. When something is already do painful, I'm sure that first poke was painful, but then you insert the next poke into the already blanched/frozen skin so he doesn't feel it? What a difference!! You are so kind and only think about your patients comfort.
Whew! The physical relief must be amazing! So glad that they were able to get this taken care of and I hope their healing time is minimal and easy. Thank you for sharing!
Oh man, this looks SO incredibly sore! This gentleman handled this procedure like a champ! I found myself taking the deep breaths right along with him 😢 I sure hope he's healing & recovering well!
My daughter has this and it is horrible. I thank him for sharing to make people aware of how severe this can get. She had it on her tail bone and had to have surgery. Doesn’t this have something to do with the hair follicles?
Sir, that had to be way past painful. I do hope you are feeling much better & the abscess has resolved. You chose such a wonderful PA. Mr Lynch, through as always. Thank you both!🩵🩵
I'm pretty sure I have HS but my doctors just shrug (and I have some other serious stuff taking precident) so from someone that gets these super bad under my armpits..... That guy was a champ. Good job!
I was hoping to see the follow up video for this patient. I am interested to see how this all played out. Being a diabetic myself, I know what skin ulcers can do. Thank you for sharing these videos! I have learned a lot!
This poor man! This seems extremely painful! I'm so sorry he had to deal with 2 of these in a row. I hope he feels better and doesn't have to deal with any more inflammation in his future!
This guy is an absolute rockstar for getting through the pain having this thing, going through the process with you to help him heal, and sharing it! Huge applause to both you and the patient!
Your patient is so very tough!! I cringed for him! I have had several abscesses drained in my life since around 4 yrs old! He is not alone and definitely has lots of prayers given up for him!! Hopefully he will not suffer from anymore in his life!
Oh my gosh! The poor man. That looked sooo painful! Holy yikes! Absolutely fabulous video though! Great job, as always, Greg. Thanks so much to both of you for sharing.❤️🇨🇦
Praying for a complete recovery and pain control for this dear gentleman. He's a warrior for his ability to endure the pain, as well as allowing us to view the procedure. 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏼
Oh my goodness.That looks so painful.Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us.And he was such a good patient.N was in good spirits for what he has been through.Oh my goodness Bless his heart
Poor guy. My sister had one like this in the same spot and as much as I love popping, when she asked me to help drain it she was in so much pain I couldn't keep going. His literally deflated though so I hope he was feeling better after!
Wow, that looks painful, you were amazing, thanks for sharing, you were smart seeing Greg as he worries about your comfort, not causing any extra pain. I just got diagnosed with diabetes last year and everytime I Greg you mention how much more difficult it is for surgery it scares the heck out of me. After worrying about diabetes in my family since twelve I have watched what I ate and exercised trying to avoid it. Unfortunately due to lack of doctors and waiting 2.5 years for injections for bladder ulcers, the pain was so bad between it and PNE, I was bedridden gaining forty pounds, voila diabetes, other than every six months someone looking at my numbers and giving me medication, I get no direction, help from anyone familiar with it, yes so I am terrified. Wish we had doctors who cared half as much as you do about people/ patients in your position, really admire and respect you. Hope this patient heals quickly
Humira has COMPLETELY changed my life. My HS is FINALLY under It's also keeping my Psoriasis under control. I feel horrible for anyone who also deals with that nasty disease. I wish I went to a doc who does vids of procedures because I would happily have my HS and the abscesses it's caused over the years to be filmed. I'm just happy people are FINALLY learning what HS is, how excruciating it can be and see the tunnels and damage it causes as it tracts under the skin. So much of my body is covered in scars and I'm embarrassed to show my skin. My armpits, under my breasts, my lower belly (before I lost the "apron" from having my son), my groin and even my rear end are covered in scars. I didn't try the Humira for years because the side effects terrified me. Once my Psoriatic Arthritis and HS got bad enough and I'd been fighting the HS for literally 20 years, I finally gave in. I'm glad I did. 22 years after my HS started when I was 18 and pregnant, I FINALLY have remission. I do want to have surgery to remove the most damaged skin now that I'm not longer flaring 24/7/365. I still have occasional flares of the HS but as quickly as they start to push a nodule up, they clear up. Thank you to your patient for sharing! I understand it can be very embarrassing and extremely painful. I'm grateful so many are finally realizing they have this disease and see what happens and the pain it causes. I've known two people that I told them they have HS and to get to a dermatologist IMMEDIATELY. They had the start of it and were able to get immediate treatment at my dermatologist's office. I just hope theirs NEVER gets as bad as mine. I'm a Hurley stage 2 that is borderline 3. I could even be considered a 3 if we go strictly by the guide of stages. I have a massive amount of tunneling and tracts, etc. I'm a bit confused by his situation because I've never had any cysts around my HS nodules and abscesses. Is that normal for some or is this the result of cysts vs HS? How do cysts work with HS?
Your poor patient must have been in so much pain. He’s an absolute legend for allowing us to see his treatment. Thank you both for sharing this with us.
It just keeps coming
Poor patient if he lost weight and took better care of himself he wouldn’t have this problem.

Oh my gosh! The poor man. That looked sooo painful! Holy yikes! Absolutely fabulous video though! Great job, as always, Greg. Thanks so much to both of you for sharing.❤️🇨🇦
Greg’s the best. He makes me a more compassionate individual. I hope at some point he discusses his worldview ❤❤
Looked terribly painful! My heart goes out to him!
I really appreciate your using a catch cup. No gauze pads full of blood or infected tissue. Clean, consise. Great seeing your work.
Oh man poor guy! That looks so painful, and all the scarring :(
Praying for a complete recovery and pain control for this dear gentleman. He's a warrior for his ability to endure the pain, as well as allowing us to view the procedure. 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏼
I’m feeling so sorry for this patient’s pain & HS diagnosis! What a painful area to have a cyst! So bad!
Oh my goodness.That looks so painful.Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us.And he was such a good patient.N was in good spirits for what he has been through.Oh my goodness Bless his heart
Wow, poor guy, he looks like he’s been through it. Thank you for sharing your procedure.
Woohoo! I have a new favorite video to rewatch over and over again! Poor guy though. Looked so painful 😣
That poor man! Those shots must have been agonising! I hope this resolves fast for him. Thank you for letting us see how these are treated.
Poor guy. My sister had one like this in the same spot and as much as I love popping, when she asked me to help drain it she was in so much pain I couldn't keep going. His literally deflated though so I hope he was feeling better after!
Wow, that looks painful, you were amazing, thanks for sharing, you were smart seeing Greg as he worries about your comfort, not causing any extra pain. I just got diagnosed with diabetes last year and everytime I Greg you mention how much more difficult it is for surgery it scares the heck out of me. After worrying about diabetes in my family since twelve I have watched what I ate and exercised trying to avoid it. Unfortunately due to lack of doctors and waiting 2.5 years for injections for bladder ulcers, the pain was so bad between it and PNE, I was bedridden gaining forty pounds, voila diabetes, other than every six months someone looking at my numbers and giving me medication, I get no direction, help from anyone familiar with it, yes so I am terrified. Wish we had doctors who cared half as much as you do about people/ patients in your position, really admire and respect you. Hope this patient heals quickly
I was just thinking this morning wow mrpopzit barely has good abcesses any longer then this vid shows up! Best ever!
What a brave soul❤ I give him kudos for having this filmed. This looks so painful. I hope the pain went away quickly for him.
I just had one of these removed from my back in February. Then last week, they went in and excised it. The worst part was the numbing.
That poor guy. It looks incredibly painful! Thanks so much for being willing to share.
Man, that is a rough condition to have.. he’s awesome. Hope everything heals up well for him
Omg this poor man. What a brave soul for sharing this with us. ❤
Humira has COMPLETELY changed my life. My HS is FINALLY under It's also keeping my Psoriasis under control. I feel horrible for anyone who also deals with that nasty disease. I wish I went to a doc who does vids of procedures because I would happily have my HS and the abscesses it's caused over the years to be filmed. I'm just happy people are FINALLY learning what HS is, how excruciating it can be and see the tunnels and damage it causes as it tracts under the skin. So much of my body is covered in scars and I'm embarrassed to show my skin. My armpits, under my breasts, my lower belly (before I lost the "apron" from having my son), my groin and even my rear end are covered in scars. I didn't try the Humira for years because the side effects terrified me. Once my Psoriatic Arthritis and HS got bad enough and I'd been fighting the HS for literally 20 years, I finally gave in. I'm glad I did. 22 years after my HS started when I was 18 and pregnant, I FINALLY have remission. I do want to have surgery to remove the most damaged skin now that I'm not longer flaring 24/7/365. I still have occasional flares of the HS but as quickly as they start to push a nodule up, they clear up.
Thank you to your patient for sharing! I understand it can be very embarrassing and extremely painful. I'm grateful so many are finally realizing they have this disease and see what happens and the pain it causes. I've known two people that I told them they have HS and to get to a dermatologist IMMEDIATELY. They had the start of it and were able to get immediate treatment at my dermatologist's office. I just hope theirs NEVER gets as bad as mine. I'm a Hurley stage 2 that is borderline 3. I could even be considered a 3 if we go strictly by the guide of stages. I have a massive amount of tunneling and tracts, etc.
I'm a bit confused by his situation because I've never had any cysts around my HS nodules and abscesses. Is that normal for some or is this the result of cysts vs HS? How do cysts work with HS?
Lucky! It made both my dermatitis and has worse! My body fought the drug like a disease.
Thank you for helping this guy it looks soo painful. I was worried for him about infection. But we know he's in good hands.
