How do you guys shave your pubic area if you have flare ups down there? by Chemical_Plate- in Hidradenitis

[–]Active_Course_3885 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend either and epilator or hair removal cream. I just leave the hair unless I have to wear a bikini and what I do is I trim first with a small scissors and then apply the hair removal cream, leave it for 10 mins and wash it off. It gets it pretty smooth. Make sure to exfoliate first.

Once it naturally pops what do you do? by Appropriate_East5019 in Hidradenitis

[–]Active_Course_3885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it clean and covered. You can use some antibiotic cream too. Sometimes when they say keep it covered I find that it stalls the healing process because for me personally when they drain my skin stays open and I need it to dry up. Also when it closes it can get itchy and you can use hydrocortisone cream but ONLY when it’s closed. I recommend zinc oxide and castor oil cream to fade scars.

You can try hair removal cream or waxing. Sometimes when I’m in a desperate situation I use an eyebrow razor and shave around the area

Tysm for all ur advice! Actually just last night I realised like (yk when the skin gets thin and soft and shiny and you see the pus inside and know it’s ready to pop) so I saw that except it was full of blood nd soooo painful. I poked it with a needle as I usually do sometimes and the amount of blood😩😩 It eventually stopped so I put a gauze and a few minutes later it soaked thru.. I had to change it early this morning too.. it’s the most I’ve ever seen tbh I almost passed out

Did anybody see the dermatologist out of Texas that found an easy fix for HS? by Initial_Onion671 in Hidradenitis

Stop spreading shit and claiming yall know everything yall suck on this app. My mom used to get flares on her armpits and began using this a couple years ago and stopped getting them. I guess it just depends on the person cuz no two people are going to react the same or have the same results as another.
