Fair point — and actually, brand names *can* be helpful! Here are some ointments and topical products that myHSteam members have mentioned for managing HS symptoms:
For wound care & skin soothing:
- Vaseline (as a base for DIY blends)
- Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Body Wash
- Aloe vera gel
For DIY topical blends:
- Tea tree oil mixed with lotion or Vaseline
- Lavender oil + vitamin E oil combinations
For itching & irritation:
- Hydrocortisone cream (available OTC or prescription-strength) Always check with your dermatologist before trying new topical products, since HS skin can be sensitive and what works for one person may not work for another. But hopefully these give you some real starting points! 😊
