You honestly can’t use too much. I use it every time I shower and some days I have to shower 3 times. I have extremely sensitive skin.

Hibiclens, also known as Hibiscrub, is used by some individuals with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) as part of their daily hygiene routine. It is a medicated, antiseptic soap that helps manage the condition by reducing the frequency of flare-ups. Users typically apply it in the shower, allowing it to sit on the affected areas for about 10 minutes before washing it off. This method helps to dry up sores quickly. However, it's important to note that while Hibiclens can be effective for some, others may find medicated washes like this to be irritating to their skin.
