I have been dealing with HS for 10+ years. In the beginning, it used to come and go without much issue. Now, I feel like it's all I deal with. I started using dial spring water antibacterial bar soap and it's helping somewhat. I usually have it under both armpits. I haven't found a deodorant that doesn't make it worse. I've stopped shaving that area because I'm afraid of that also making it worse. I also have psoriasis so my skin is super sensitive. What body care items have you used that made a… read more

Don't use Hibiclens too often, it's very drying. A few times a week is good. Make sure it's rinsed COMPLETELY! As for deodorants, you can try the deodorant from The Mama AU (her fiance has HS and she developed products for him). Her stuff can be found at themamaau.com

@A myHSteam Member how often should you clean with the hibiclens? I have done once yesterday and once today.

Try the antibiotic soap hibicleanse. That usually keeps down with breakouts. Also I use an aluminum free deodorant. I trim my underarms with clippers so I can monitor breakouts. Also watch your diet. I find when my sugar is high I have more frequent breakouts. Like no carbs meat and veggies. Good luck!
