Best Deodorant for HS
Hey All,
My HS has now spread into my armpits, I was wondering whether deodorants weren't helping and making them more inflamed.
Anyone have suggestions on the best deodorant that doesn't irritate (as much) your HS?
I have HS in my armpits and have gone through so many different deodorants in the past years. I have finally found the best option. I use glycolic acid toner. It's not perfect but way better than any deodorant I have used. Also, you don't smell!!!
For me, after trial and error, I used one of the aluminum-free deodorants because they tend to have less friction which I noticed reduces my flares. I've noticed that wearing deodorants tends to reduce how much I sweat, which reduces how much flares I get in my armpits. As long I wash off before bed, I'm usually fine. I think you'll see it varies widely among people.
For me, certain antiperspirants would irritate. After trial and error, I have found that loose powder deodorant from LUSH Cosmetics has been very good for me. I’ve tried a couple different ones from LUSH, powders seems to do wonders. I only use spray Deodorant. The gel kind I use to get would make me break out , getting in the scarring pockets.I hope this works for you.
