Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Since HS flare-ups occur when hair follicles become blocked and inflamed, there are some foods and spices that are anti-inflammatory and good to introduce into your diet for inflammation:

Turmeric (if taken in capsule form, make sure black pepper extract is an ingredient. Black pepper extract is needed to activate the turmeric)

Spinach

Broccoli

Green tea

Sweet Potato

Ginger

Blueberries

Salmon

Tuna

Garlic

Cinnamon

Chia Seeds

Beets

Olive Oil

Coconut Oil

Since dairy can be a trigger, almond milk and coconut milk are great substitutes.

*Everyone’s body is different. What works for some, may not work for others but don’t stop trying to find the best method!

Living with HS

Sometimes it takes a long time for people to get diagnosed or even become aware that what they’re suffering from is Hidradenitis. Once you understand what the disease is, you can start trying to adjust your lifestyle in order to better accommodate your new needs.

Here are some tip that help me for flares

Pre-Flare:

Wear loose and breathable clothing to reduce chaffing against skin

Don’t shave prone areas to try and diminish irritation and further outbreaks

If prone areas become sweaty and moist, gently (DO NOT SCRUB) use sensitive skin facial wipes, witch hazel or alcohol pads to easily refresh area (I like Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleansing Towelettes)

Use anti-bacterial body wash (I like Dial’s Gold body wash)

Limit/Cut Out trigger foods

Exercise at least 30 minutes a day (get the heart rate going!)

Drink at least 2 liters of water each day

Some deodorants may irritate and cause outbreaks so I’ve heard of people using diluted tea tea oil or diluted lavender oil instead or, Crystal Body Deodorant is also a popular among HS sufferers.

During Flare:

Keep infected area clean and dry

Use Vicks Vapor Rub or Manuka honey for unbroken or un-opened skin

Use warm compresses and soaks to try and bring to a head

Utilize panty liners or menstrual pads in clothing for the affected areas

If using medical tape for gauze, apply alcohol or eye make-up remover to cotton ball to saturate the tape and gently remove from skin

Change bandage 2-3 times a day, or when bandage becomes saturated or uncomfortable

Ice packs are great for numbing painful areas (don’t do this if you have the Vicks or Manuka honey on)

Avoid strenuous activity

Avoid stressful situations

Drink lemon ginger tea to help calm inflammation and your anxiety

Stick to your balanced diet

Apply sunscreen after healing has commenced. Discoloration may be reduced and diminish scars

Don’t give up!

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (hi-drad-uh-NIE-tis sup-yoo-ruh-TIE-vuh) or Acne Inversa, is a rare, long term skin condition in which the hair follicles become blocked and inflamed. This blockage and inflammation can cause painful boils, lumps and abscesses anywhere skin may rub together.

Hidradenitis is an autoimmune disease.

There is no cure for Hidradenitis but there are certain measures that can be taken to try and reduce outbreaks.

Hidradenitis is not contagious.

Hidradenitis is not because you are unhygienic.

Hidradenitis is not your fault.
