Hidradenitis Suppurativa + ..

I do shave down "down there" and under my arms because I'm not a big fan of hair, although it's terrible for the hidradenitis.

I find it a lot easier to apply ClindaTech and it isn't such a bother when there's no hair in the way, so it's better in the long run.

Although, I'm getting sick of shaving every day!

The hair grows back quickly and I think I'm going to have to start waxing.

I could never go get it done professionally because I'm highly embarrassed about my scars, but I was wondering if anyone knows if having scars like that would cause the skin to be more sensetive/easier to rip and if so, how to prevent that?

I don't want to put myself in danger, let alone end up with MORE scars.

I have very fair skin, so having huge red and purple scars really don't blend very well.

Also, does anyone know how to get rid of scars without having surgery?

How do people react to your scars? (Hopefully I'm not the only one here with mass scars from this stupid disease)

Cheers
