New armpit flare up
Looking for advice on tips or things to avoid with irritated underarm cysts. I’ve been diagnosed with HS for years but this is the first time I’ve had a bad flare up specifically affecting my armpits (my groin is my problem area). I’ve never really had cysts there before and now I have 5 super painful ones. I’m already in a lot of pain and it’s affecting my mental health. I don’t know when I’m going to be able to get in to my dermatologist for medications. I’m paranoid that wearing deodorant or loose sleeved shirts is going to make it worse. I’m already doing panoxal twice a day but that’s it, I’d really appreciate any advice I can get.
