When choosing a deodorant with HS, it's important to be aware of ingredients that could cause irritation. The main ingredients to watch out for are:
- Aluminum
- Parabens (preservatives)
- Artificial fragrances
- Dyes
Many people with HS have found success with natural, aluminum-free options like Native Deodorant, Kiss My Face, and Pretty Frank. Keep in mind these may take some time for your body to adjust to. Clinical strength antiperspirants can be effective for managing sweat and odor. For best results, apply deodorant at night rather than during the day. Remember to never apply deodorant directly on open wounds or lesions - instead, apply around the area and consider covering wounds with a bandage.
If you experience irritation, some people find success with antibacterial products or carrying flushable wipes for freshening up throughout the day. Always test new products on a small area first and consult your dermatologist before trying new skincare products, especially while on biologics.
