Personally, I wouldn't advise doing that. You could get a chemical burn. Of course that is my opinion and I have severe HS. I would advise instead using a beard trimmer or something to that effect.

No problem! I would just take extra caution if you are having active flare-ups right now. I would avoid those areas because the creams can burn skin. Hope all goes well

I have used hair removal creams (Nair) while having HS. It works well, but I have washed it off well and exfoliated afterwards. No flare ups for me while using this product.
