It's great that Sudocrem has been working for you! Many people with HS look for ways to reduce friction and irritation in affected areas, and barrier creams can be a helpful part of daily skin care.
Sudocrem contains zinc oxide, which can act as a protective barrier on the skin. This may help reduce friction and irritation, which is especially useful in HS-prone areas like the underarms, groin, and thighs.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when using any topical cream for HS:
- Make sure skin is clean and dry before applying
- Avoid products with added fragrances, dyes, or parabens, as these can trigger flares
- Don't apply creams to open or draining lesions without checking with your doctor first
- Keep your doctor informed about any over-the-counter products you're using regularly You're definitely not alone in finding creative ways to manage daily friction! Other myHSteam members have shared similar approaches, like using wipes throughout the day or applying protective products around (not on) active sores.
As always, what works brilliantly for one person may not suit another, so it's worth mentioning it to your dermatologist to make sure it's the right fit for your skin long-term.
