Fewer, smaller flares under my arms
I've had HS since college. This doesn't make it go away, but my flares are smaller and settle faster. Being able to message the provider without booking an appointment matters a lot to me.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa treatment reviews
What is hidradenitis suppurativa?
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes painful lumps where skin rubs together. It is not contagious and is not caused by poor hygiene. There is no cure, but flares can often be managed. Vuret offers HS Flare Control Cream for mild to moderate HS.
Common signs
- Painful lumps under the skin
- Lumps that drain
- Recurring flares in the same areas
- Blackhead-like spots in skin folds
When to see a doctor in person
Severe HS, deep tunnels, widespread scarring, fever, or flares that do not respond to treatment need in-person care.

Helps with active flares remarkably well
Stings slightly for a couple of minutes on raw areas, so I apply gently. On new developing lumps it calms things down much faster than anything else I've tried. Discreet packaging is a big plus.
Calms flare-ups fast, best on new spots
Groin flares settle down noticeably quicker. Stings slightly for the first couple of minutes if skin is open, but it cools the inflammation down within 48 hours. The provider was very helpful answering my questions.
Finally something I can use at home
I avoided dealing with HS for years because it's embarrassing to talk about. The online form made it easy. Flares are more manageable now.
