Certainly! Here are some tips for bandaging HS lesions under your arms, which can help manage the area after a flare-up:
1. **Use Gentle Cleaning Methods**: Before bandaging, clean the area with antibacterial soap and warm water using a gentle touch. Avoid harsh antiseptics like hydrogen peroxide.
2. **Choose the Right Dressings**: Opt for absorbent dressings and gauze that can handle drainage. Avoid using adhesives directly on the skin as they can irritate the sores.
3. **Secure the Dressing**: You can use hypoallergenic tape or special garments like HidraWear, which are designed for people with HS. These garments have pockets to hold dressings in place without irritating the skin.
4. **Daily Maintenance**: Change your dressings regularly to keep the area clean and dry. This helps prevent infection and manages odor.
5. **Consult and Share**: Talk with others who have HS on platforms like myHSteam for more personalized advice and support. Also, consider scheduling an appointment with a healthcare professional specializing in dermatology or wound care for additional guidance.
These steps should help you manage your condition more comfortably and effectively.
