Why Many People with HS Stop Using Deodorant (and How We’re Solving That)

Imagine this. You’re getting ready for the day. You’ve showered, dressed, and now you reach for your deodorant but hesitate. You’re not sure if it’s going to burn, clog, or trigger another painful flare. For people living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), this isn’t just a bad morning. It’s a daily reality.

What Is HS and Why Deodorant Can Make It Worse

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin condition. It causes painful bumps, inflammation, and sometimes open wounds often in the armpits, groin, or under the breasts. These are the same spots where most people use deodorant. That overlap becomes a problem.

Here’s why:

• Traditional deodorants can clog pores. That can trap sweat and bacteria, making HS worse.
• Fragrances and alcohols can irritate raw or sensitive skin. This leads to burning, stinging, or even infections.
• Antiperspirants block sweat glands. For someone with HS, this can increase the risk of a flare-up.

It’s no wonder so many people with HS stop using deodorant altogether. The risk feels too high. No one wants to trade odor control for more pain. This leads to what some call “deodorant fear.” It’s the constant worry that something as simple as staying fresh will cause another outbreak.

Real Stories: Why People Stop Using Deodorant with HS

At MAGS Skin, we’ve heard it all.

“I used to apply deodorant and immediately brace for the sting. One day I just stopped using it altogether. I’d rather deal with odor than another flare-up.” – Casey, 29

“I’ve tried every ‘sensitive’ deodorant on the shelf. Nothing worked. I felt gross and embarrassed at work.” – Jordan, 35

These aren’t rare cases. Many people with HS feel forced to choose between comfort and confidence. That’s why we created MAGS Skin for HS. Because you shouldn’t have to choose.

How MAGS Skin Is Solving Deodorant Fear for People with HS

We took a different approach. We didn’t just make a natural deodorant. We made a skin-safe deodorant for HS. That means every ingredient is chosen with sensitive, reactive skin in mind.

Here’s how MAGS Skin deodorant helps:

• Fragrance-free: No perfumes, no essential oils just calm, clean freshness
• Magnesium-based: Magnesium hydroxide fights odor without blocking sweat or irritating skin
• No baking soda or aluminum: These common ingredients can cause redness and discomfort in HS-prone skin
• pH-balancing: Helps reduce irritation by keeping your skin in its natural zone

It’s not just about what we put in. It’s also about what we leave out. That’s why MAGS Skin is a fragrance free deodorant for sensitive skin and a trusted HS deodorant alternative.

Why HS Sufferers Can Trust MAGS Skin

Our formula was designed with input from real people living with HS. We listened to what hurt, what helped, and what they needed to feel like themselves again.

Here’s what makes it the best deodorant for HS sufferers:

• Goes on smooth: No tugging, no scraping just easy, gentle application
• Stays effective all day: Neutralizes odor without reapplying or layering

“I didn’t realize how much deodorant fear was affecting me. I cried the first time I used MAGS and didn’t feel pain. It was freedom.” – Alicia, 41
