Has anyone's breakouts been linked to sex? I had an absess for approx. 6 mths, then something happened to my husband and we couldn't have sex for 4 weeks, and absess went away. Started sex again and it's coming back.
I also got a cold so I am not sure if it could be sex or the cold (just a weakened immune system).
Just wondering... thanks
Hmmm I know each month around my period I get flair ups. And I've heard some women have reduced symptoms around menopause so maybe hormones play a part. I personally haven't contacted sex to break outs or flair ups. I do remember when I was pregnant I had no symptoms until I gave birth. Anyway sorry this probably wasn't much help.
Thank you, I appreciate all advice/experiences..

I have actually tried to Google to see if food proteins can be passed through sex. There is debate about if proteins from food a man eats can be passed. I am sensitive to nightshades and although I don't have flare ups after sex, I do have a horrible odor the next day if my husband has eaten jalapeños, which is a nightshade vegetable. No jalapeños, no odor. I wish a doctor would figure out for sure!
Does your husband smoke, by chance?
Not anymore, we both used to for many years..we both quit about two years ago. .
That is so interesting. I need to watch what he's eating.
Hello stephanie, just a thought...my biggest HS trigger is sweat. Maybe that is triggering your outbreaks???
Thanks I was thinking that! You guys all all so amazing on this support group. Everyone helps even if it's seems like a crazy question. Thanks everyone.
