@dermatologysurgeon: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory condition that presents as recurrent, painful lumps and boils on hair-bearing areas (like underarms or groin). It is aggravated by bacterial colonization of the skin. Pyrithione zinc-based shampoos, like Head & Shoulders, can be used on the affected skin to help reduce inflammation and bacteria, which helps to get rid of boils and can prevent them from coming back. This is a cheaper treatment option than Hibiclens, which can also help hidradenitis suppurativa. It can be used along with in-office or prescription treatments. This hack was published in a top dermatology journal. #hidradenitissuppurativa #hidradenitissuppurativaawareness #homeremedy #fyp
