Natural remedies for hydratenitis suppurativa

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin condition that provokes small lumps under your skin. These lumps can be red, swollen, and very painful. They’re most likely to develop where your skin rubs together, such as your underarms, groin, or between the buttocks.

Over time, these lumps may break open, resulting in an unpleasant smell or tunnels under your skin.

This condition occurs when hair follicles become blocked and then inflamed. While scientists are unsure why this occurs, they believe it may be tied to:

• Other underlying conditions
• Smoking
• Family history

It’s not caused by infection or poor hygiene, though the condition can leave you more susceptible to bacterial infections.

While there are effective treatment options available through your doctor, you may prefer to use natural, alternative treatments instead. These treatments can be lower in cost, risks, and side effects.

Showering daily can help wash away dirt and bacteria from your skin. Use a non-comedogenic soap or body wash, which won’t clog pores. If needed, you can also choose a shampoo and conditioner that doesn’t contain aggravating ingredients.

Armpit and pubic hair removal

Removing the hair on your underarms and pubic area might help prevent future flare-ups.

Talk to your dermatologist or primary physician about your best options for hair removal. Some people find that shaving during a flare-up can irritate the area further, intensifying symptoms.

Maintain a healthy weight

Research has shown that weight loss may help relieve the hidradenitis suppurativa symptoms of people who are overweight.

Stop smoking

Smoking is unhealthy for many reasons but is strongly associated with hidradenitis suppurativa outbreaks. To support your plan to stop smoking, talk with your doctor, seek help from friends and family, and follow an effective method of smoking cessation.
