For those with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), choosing the right deodorant is crucial to avoid skin irritation. Here are some recommended options and tips:

Recommended Deodorants:
- Native Deodorant
- Kiss My Face
- Pretty Frank

Key Considerations:
- Aluminum-Free: These options are natural and aluminum-free, which is better for HS skin.
- Avoid Parabens: Parabens can cause irritation and allergic reactions.
- Fragrance-Free: Fragrances, especially those with alcohol, can trigger allergies and irritation.
- Natural Ingredients: Be cautious as ingredients like baking soda and essential oils can also be irritating.

Tips:
- Consult a Dermatologist: Always consult your dermatologist before trying new products.
- Avoid Open Wounds: Do not apply deodorant on open wounds or lesions.
- Formula Preference: Some people with HS prefer solid sticks over gels or sprays.

User Experiences:
- Arrid Solid Stick: Some users find it effective in reducing odor and flare-ups.
- Lume Deodorant: Works well but may not be perfect at controlling odor. Users often pair it with antibacterial soap like Dial.

Additional Advice:
- Antiperspirants vs. Deodorants: Antiperspirants reduce sweat, which may benefit HS, while deodorants mask odor but do not affect HS directly.

Always remember to patch-test new products and monitor for any adverse reactions.
