@spookyspoonie I have found that after shaving powder your skin with corn starch it really helped prevent ingrown hairs for me. I just put some in a bowl and use a very large soft brush to apply

I use magnesium bath flakes for my pain, but I think it has helped my skin heal as well! I have HS and inverse psoriasis. If you shave, I recommend an electric razor to keep from shaving all the way to the skin. I find that ingrown hairs often trigger my hs. You can also do an anti-inflammatory diet to see if it helps.

I’ll definitely give that a go, worth a try

This will sound strange but my dermo recommends using Head & Shoulders (yes the shampoo, unscented) as body wash and it’s really helped for me! Especially if your flare areas have hair it helps.

I buy it in bulk from Amazon 🙌
Wash affected areas 1 or 2 times daily with Hibiclens (antibacterial wash). It’s the thing that’s helped me the most!
