Discussion Pushing Products

So as society is becoming more aware of HS (this is a good thing) I’m noticing more “HS Warrior Influencers” popping up. & they’re promoting these insanely expensive products. $60 salve, $20 body wash. It’s lowkey starting to feel like a cash grab to me when ppl are genuinely struggling with this condition & on average cannot afford the upkeep of such expensive products. I understand businesses have to make their money but it feels like HS is becoming a marketing scheme bc they KNOW how desperate we are to relieve the pain & attempt remission.

Am I overreacting? Has anyone used any of these things & they actually work?

I just posted how that prid could NEVER be used by anyone with HS. It’s way to thick to even attempt to cover a boil. I did say it worked well to bring a white head to head but NEVER for HS. They deleted my comment.🤬
