Smell

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

What kind of smell do you have with HS?
Having an issue, but really don't know what's going on. The dr says I have been taking in to much protein, and need a more balanced diet. Been drinking more water and switched up my eating, but the smell seems to keep coming back. Definitely calmed down some, but still smell it from time to time. Please help, never had an issue with it before, after I turned 40 it came out of nowhere.

Hi👋🏼. Hope all is well!!! I wish you could elaborate a little more .... I've noticed from time to time a mild scent under my armpits. I started using a deodorant rock and it's been so effective. I purchased one for my private area. To eliminate moisture...
Works pretty darn good!!!!

The bad smells are common. You just find product that works for you to calm it down. I wash with hibiclense, and then use this ointment that helps with everything to do with HS. Check it out..
