I only have it on both arm pits. It is hard to shave cause of these bumps. Should I try using nair or something instead of shaving

Sara I get waxed it's better and less flare ups under my armpits when I did get them. I'm blessed that I never had a flare since last year.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) commonly affects areas with high numbers of apocrine sweat glands, such as:

- Buttocks
- Groin
- Armpits
- Genital area
- Inner thighs
- Under the breasts

However, it can also appear in less common areas like the face, jaw, and legs. The specific locations can vary from person to person.
