Have Issues With An Odor. Even Right After A Shower The Smell About Drives Me Crazy. Any Tips On How To Control It.
Hi! as a nurse, we use charcoal dressings to help with odors from wounds. 'Charcoal dressings, also known as activated charcoal dressings, can help reduce wound odor by absorbing toxins and neutralizing volatile fatty acids that cause the smell'
I think you can buy them from amazon, hope this helps 🥰
Odor in HS is often caused by bacteria. Here are some tips to help manage it:
1. Use antibacterial or anti-yeast body washes
2. Try clinical-strength antiperspirants at night to reduce sweat and bacteria.
3. Consider natural odor eliminators like witch hazel or diluted apple cider vinegar (test for sensitivities first).

i use hibiclens in the shower. its in a teal package. you can get it from walmart for about $9. the soap is liquid and its red. i have the larger bottle with the pump (like a hand soap bottle) that i leave in the shower. the only place i could find that was amazon. i suggest if you want to try it you get the one from walmart. and if it works then invest in the pump one.
Hello. Thank you very much Lindsay. I didn't know that charcoal dressings existed. This is a great solution, but very expensive (4 euros per dressing !).
I wish you the best.
I use antibacterial wipes in arm pits after shower before putting on secret unscented deodorant spray. I avoid solids and roll ins. They spread germs.
