Which My Magic Healer product should you use for HS, and when is it safe to apply?

My Magic Healer hasn't been specifically studied for treating HS, though some of its ingredients like beeswax, propolis, and olive oil have shown antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties in general skin research. However, it's really important to talk with your dermatologist before using this or any home remedy on your HS lesions.

When it comes to open wounds that are draining pus or bleeding, you should be extra cautious. The general guidance for HS wound care is to keep open wounds clean, dry, and covered with sterile dressings. Applying products to actively draining or bleeding wounds could potentially introduce irritation or interfere with proper healing.

Some ingredients in My Magic Healer may cause problems for certain people:
- Those allergic to bee products may react to propolis or beeswax
- The oils might clog pores or cause irritation
- It could make inflammation worse in some cases

A myHSteam member shared their experience: "I've been using a body wash with lavender, and I noticed that every time I use it on my HS --- especially the last time --- it makes it SO much more inflamed."

If you notice increased irritation, new nodules, rashes, burning, or itching after using any product, stop immediately and contact your dermatologist. Your doctor can recommend safe, effective options specifically for your situation and advise whether combining My Magic Healer with other treatments is appropriate.
