“Hello!!! I’m Cydney!! I am a hidradenitis suppurativa warrior. I’ve been battling with HS since 12 years old when boils started appearing on my inner thighs. It attacked my confidence in many ways and made puberty, high school and motherhood extremely difficult, and for years I was silent about my fight. Until this year I knew I couldn’t keep quiet about the struggles of living with HS. Little did I know I would gain a community of other warriors who inspire me to keep showing up and sharing my testimony. Love to all of the warriors worldwide, I see you. I share your struggles and you are not alone!”
