It's great to hear you've found some relief using tea tree oil! Many people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) have shared that tea tree oil, known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, can be beneficial. Just a reminder, it's important to use it correctly—diluting it as necessary to avoid skin irritation. If you haven't already, discussing this with your doctor could provide additional personalized advice on making the most out of tea tree oil for your HS symptoms.

I wouldn’t use it in an open wound. Something that’s good to help with the healing process are Xeroform Petrolatum Gauze, I’ve used them for a few years. It will assist in closing of the wound. Use an antibacterial wound wash too and keep it covered with gauze for any additional drainage
