Have you used Mexsana powder on the groin area to help keep yourself dryer?

While the search results don't specifically mention Mexsana powder, keeping the groin area dry is definitely important for managing HS. Many myHSteam members focus on moisture control in sensitive areas.

Some strategies members have found helpful include:

* Wearing moisture-wicking underwear made from bamboo or other breathable materials
* Using boxer shorts (for all genders) to reduce friction and improve airflow
* Trying menstrual underwear or other absorbent undergarments designed for the groin area
* Going without underwear when possible to allow the area to breathe
* Keeping the area clean and dry throughout the day

Before using any powder product on your groin, especially if you have open lesions or drainage, it's best to check with your dermatologist. They can advise whether powder is safe for your specific situation and recommend products that won't irritate your skin or interfere with wound healing.

Some members have found that applying petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on a tissue can help create a protective barrier in the groin area, particularly when using the bathroom.
