Experiencing dryness and soreness after using Zindaclin (clindamycin gel) on HS-affected skin is something others have noticed too. Topical treatments can sometimes irritate already sensitive skin.

Here are a few things that may help:

- Patch test any new product on a small area first to gauge your skin's reaction
- Avoid scrubbing with loofahs or washcloths, as these can make irritation worse
- Pat skin dry gently with a clean towel after washing rather than rubbing
- Avoid layering other skincare products like perfumes or lotions over topical treatments, as they can interfere and increase irritation It's worth speaking to your dermatologist about the dryness and soreness you're experiencing. They may suggest adjusting how often you apply it, or recommend a suitable gentle moisturizer to use alongside it. Don't stop using it without checking with them first, as they'll want to make sure your HS is still being managed effectively.
