Clindamyacin is good topical for the groin. It is prescription.Bandage welk as not to get inside of you
My dr. Prescribed me doxycycline 100 mg. Twice a day for 10 to 14 days and mucocipin triple antibiotic cream. I would wash with warm sterilized wash cloth and dry with separate washed towel 2 to 3 times a day. Then I would put my antibiotic cream covered with a sterile gauze bandage. The cream seemed to soothe it. I know how painful it gets to the point of not being able to walk without pain. Please get yourself a good dermatologist or a dr. That knows about HS. If I can help you any other way please message me.
Calendula cream, Vitamin A , silver gel, tea tree oil, olive leaf extract, arnica cream, a little hydrocortisone cream and clotromizole or nystatin combination cream all together helps tremendously
Wash area with saline solution then dry with sterile gauze pad. Apply Cicitracin to boil, then follow up with Silver Oxide gel. Cover with breathable 3”x4”bandage. Follow with Doxycycline 100 mg 2x daily for 14 days.
The groin area is a real problem because the skin stretches and opens up every time you sit down or go to the toilet. It is a constant battle. I made a cream that is primarily Manuka honey, zinc oxide, clindamycin, acetaminophen Neosporin and Cerave anti-itch cream. Change padding often, cleanse gently every time you go to bathroom. It is exhausting and demoralizing. I use 3 different types of pads. Cheaper on Amazon.
