That's a great idea to plan ahead for pool days! While there aren't specific wet wipe brands recommended for HS, here are some helpful tips for choosing the right ones:

- Look for fragrance-free and alcohol-free wipes to avoid irritating sensitive skin
- Antimicrobial wipes can help reduce bacteria around lesions after swimming
- Wipes with gentle, hypoallergenic ingredients are your safest bet After getting out of the pool, gently wiping down affected areas can help remove chlorine and bacteria before heading back in. Showering between swims is even better if possible.

Also worth noting — chlorine affects everyone with HS differently. Some find it helps their skin, while others experience more flare-ups. Keep an eye on how your skin responds!

If you notice any swelling, unusual redness, or pain after swimming, reach out to your doctor promptly.
