I had never felt this before, she shared.
It became more painful to walk in that area due to it rubbing against my clothing, she said.
Overtime, I started having more breakouts usually around my period.
The bumps would always pop up in different areas of my groin area.
Yalon says that her first year of battling HS was her most challenging.
I experienced the most breakouts then, she said.
That first year took a toll on my mental health.
Today, Yalon is 25 and living in California.
Shes an influencer and entrepreneur who has started her own natural hair care line.
In 2014, Yalon started posting videos online about her struggles with scalp psoriasis.
Yalon was inspired by other YouTubers who were opening up about their own health journeys.
I was actually overwhelmed and surprised by how many lives I touched after sharing my story.
I was given a strength I never knew I had.
Living with HS can cause depression and make you feel alone.
People with HS are still human and shouldnt be looked at with disgust.
I know for some of my viewers they feel uncomfortable with being in a relationship or intimate.
I feel like we are looked at differently just because our skin looks different and that can be painful.
have a go at keep your stress levels low.
Do a ton of research and learn as much as you’ve got the option to.
The more informed you are the better.
Never lose hope or give up.
You have to be strong for this one.
Remember there are other people out there going through the same thing as you.
Reach out if you’ve got the option to to other people.
I know there are Facebook forums for people with HS connecting with one another.
Take care of your health and dont forget to smile.
