MED PRIDE Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing Pads| 5-Pack, Sterile Adhesive Patches| Individually Packed, Highly Absorbent, Water-Resistant & Comfortable X-Thin 6'' x 6''

I suffer from stage two Hidradenitis Suppurativa and I must say I am thrilled to have stumbled upon these! I use the 4x4 for my armpits and they actually stay! (Sometimes in the bikini area too ) Not only do they work wonders on getting all that gunk out, but they also make the itching and irritation go away.. the pain too! If you have HS and are looking for relief these are for you! Takes a couple tries to get it to stay in creased/curved areas, but it is worth it 100%!! Be warned they do hurt like hell pealing them off, but I'll take those seconds of pain compared to being uncomfortable all day for sure. They hold so much its amazing. Just make aure you wash up with hibiclens before slapping these bad boys on... they hold smell real good. If you know you know. Good luck my friends. Stay positive. C: Edit: After months of use I found a routine I'd like to share. I have gotten to where the wounds are smaller and some are healing after switching to these bandages. Take a shower, wash wounded area with hibiclens. (Cold/lukewarm water!! Never hot on the HS spots! That makes everything hurt more.) Dry area completely. I cut off what I need making sure to round out the edges so it stays. Idk if this will make sense, but i3 make sure in the curvy areas that I make the area as smooth and flat as poaaible before placing the bandage. When removing (they stay on for two days for me mostly with no leaks c: ) I shower and make sure the water is running on the bandage before peeling slowly from one corner. Sometimes its tricky and I have to lift up another corner for it to go. I never rip them off anymore! Always use running water to take them off slowly and its pain free. I hope this helps anyone who suffers the same as me and just looking for a little bit of relief.

1st time using the X-Thin. It curls up b4 applying to skin. Be very careful- although hard when on your side/back area. Feels good once on. But when there's only 5 in a pack and 2 mess up, you're in a pinch for coverage.

This product really draws a lot of gunk out of the pores. I like that it is cuttable, some varieties aren’t. I use it for rosacea breakouts and bouts of cystic acne. Both issues heal much faster using this over dots. It also draws out those little white fluid pimples around the eyes (they have been nearly impossible to get rid of!) One drawback is that this material doesn’t adhere so well around features like the chin or nose. I’m working on a way to cut it that will work. I’m not tossing my acne dots though, they cover a lot in the daytime!

** I did not use any tape on the edges and that may have altered my experience. ** They barely stick, no matter how clean and dry my skin is. I have keratosis pilaris on my arms and pick at the bumps, heavily. I thought I could use these 6×6 ones on my arms to help with healing and to keep me from picking. It is a tricky spot to put the patches so I was expecting them to crease and roll a bit on the edges, but they literally just fell right off, no matter how long I held them down or the pressure I put on them. The edges would start separating and slowly moving to the middle until it was barely hanging on. I wore a tight long sleeve shirt to bed to help them stay in place but they ended up rolling up and the next morning I ended up just tossing them. I also cut a square from my last one to put on an open blister on the back of my heal where my shoes rub. I used a rubbing alcohol swab first and let it dry completely and it still peeled right off. I usually use the Bandaid Hydro seal in extra large but wanted to try a larger size. I'm going to stick with the Bandaid Hydro seal, they stick waaayyyyyy better than these and stay on for days even through showers. - sms

This product is an easy way to heal. No mess, no bandaids and no creams. It just keeps the moisture in to let the injury heal under a house like sterile dome like dressing. Don’t forget it’s waterproof and can stay on for multiple days for best results.
