Essentials for Life with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) 

Wardrobe

Your comfort and confidence during a breakout may greatly vary depending on the clothes you wear.

Clothing that Fits Loosely

Some HS sufferers discover that wearing tight clothing rubs their outbreaks and makes them worse.

You can wear loose-fitting clothing made of natural fibers like cotton or hemp to promote air circulation and keep your skin dry. Use stretchy clothing, such as leggings or yoga pants, as they offer greater give and permit more freedom of movement.

Loose-Fitting Underwear

Underwire and elastic bands could be painful in certain regions since nodules frequently develop there. Search for underwear styles without leg elastic and bras with soft cups.

Breathable Clothing Layers

Adding more layers could be beneficial. Nodules that drain occasionally cause stains on garments. Having a base layer that breathes beneath whatever you’re wearing will ease your worry about getting something on you. Bringing a change of clothes is always a smart idea, just in case.

Kinder Detergents for the laundry

Use skin-sensitive detergents to wash your clothes. Seek for laundry detergents free of enzymes, dyes, and fragrances.
