What deodorant brands have worked for people with HS without causing flare-ups?

Many myHSteam members have found success with aluminum-free and natural deodorants. Here are some brands that members have recommended:

• Native Deodorant
• Kiss My Face
• Pretty Frank
• Arm & Hammer (aluminum-free version)
• Dove solid stick
• Arrid solid stick
• Mitchum (antibiotic formula)

Members also mentioned using mild deodorants with coconut oil and charcoal. Keep in mind that natural options may take some adjustment time, and you might experience a transition period before they work effectively.

It's important to avoid deodorants with aluminum, parabens, and artificial fragrances, as these ingredients commonly trigger irritation. Many members prefer solid stick formulas over roll-ons or gels.

Remember not to apply deodorant to open wounds or active lesions. What works for one person may not work for another, so you may need to try a few options to find what's best for your skin. Consult your dermatologist before trying new products.
