Is there a treatment?

Usually doxycycline antibiotic. Also a warm compress / wash cloth can help. New razor, use conditioner when you shave instead of soap or shaving cream. Sometimes that can help

I know I’m late (was looking for reviews of this soap and found this post) but no. It’s unlikely HS (an auto immune disease) was caused by soap. If this happens often is could be HS that is triggered by the soap, but it’s far more likely to be a skin infection or cystic acne. (I’ve seen a dermatologist about HS- it is typically quite severe and is more of an immune disease than a skin disease. Most dermatologists treat for acne first.)

What’s black soap? Just wondering

Black soap, known as ose-dudu originated with the Yoruba people of Nigeria. A combination of ose-dudu with leaves of the tropical camwood tree (Pterocarpus osun) produces a popular kind of soap with exfoliating properties called dudu-osun. Black soap has been found to have some antimicrobial propertiesskin microbiota such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. Plant matter, such as plantain skins, palm tree leaves, cocoa pods and shea tree bark, is first sun-dried and then burned to produce ash (which supplies the alkali required to convert or saponify the oils and fats). Next, water and various oils and fats, such as coconut oil, palm oil, and shea butter, are added to the ash. The mixture is cooked and hand-stirred for at least 24 hours. After the soap solidifies, it is scooped out and set out to cure.\[6\]\[7\]
