This was literally me after my first few dermatology appointments. 😂💜 Over time, I’ve learned a few things that have helped me feel more confident navigating my care: 💜 Make sure I understand my care. If something isn’t clear, I ask questions and take the time to understand it. 💜 Tap into my community. I love hearing other people’s experiences and learning what they’ve tried or heard about. 💜 Speak up about what I need. I know my body, and I’ve learned how important it is to communicate what I’m experiencing, what’s working, and what isn’t. Learning to navigate your care takes time. Give yourself room to learn along the way. 💜 #HidradenitisSuppurativa #HSWarrior #HSCommunity #chronicskincondition #skincare
