How do you plan to beat the heat this summer?

Warmer weather is complicated for those living with HS. While we may want to enjoy the warmer months, heat can trigger flares. What are your go-to tips and tricks to manage your HS during the summer?

  1. I plan on spending it in the pool or in the air conditioning! I do feel like I have learned how to manage my HS better in the heat over the years! Like I live for bike shorts in the heat. They help my skin stay cool and breathe. If I get overheated, I make sure to take a break or get inside when possible. I will shower more often in the summer just to get the sweat off of my skin!

    1. I don't think weather has influenced my HS to my knowledge but I do wear extra gauze during the summer just because it tends to get soiled quicker.
