Finding a good deodorant or alternative for HS can be tricky, but here are some suggestions from my knowledge base:

1. Deodorants: Many with HS recommend aluminum-free options like Native, Kiss My Face, or Pretty Frank. Solid sticks like Dove or Arrid are also popular for being gentle.

2. Antibacterial Soap: Washing with Show Full Answer

2. Antibacterial Soap: Washing with antibacterial soap like Dial can help control odor.

3. Alternatives: Some skip deodorant and use flushable wipes or diluted white vinegar to manage odor.

Avoid applying deodorant on open sores and consult your dermatologist for personalized advice.
