Top Remedies for Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Painful, unsightly, chronic, and embarrassing are a few words to describe the suffering of those with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). Those who have this condition sometimes spend many years and thousands of dollars on doctors, drug therapies, and surgeries, often with less than satisfactory results. However, there are quite a few home remedies that can help and even heal the HS boils. The top remedy for HS is the spice turmeric, which is an anti-inflammatory herb. Other home remedies include dietary changes, applying warm compresses to the affected areas, taking soothing baths, and using zinc gluconate supplements.

Over the past decade, our Earth Clinic readers have shared hundreds of stories of their journey with HS, the natural remedies they have tried, and their joyful success stories. Readers also share their personal pain and victories in dealing with the emotional and relational challenges that come with this distressing condition.

What is HS?

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin disease that is often misdiagnosed. Small, pea-size lumps generally appear around the apocrine sweat gland areas, such as under the armpits, breasts, groin, inner thighs, and buttocks. These infected areas, which form clusters of abscesses, can swell to be quite large and very often painful.

Best Home Remedies for Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Turmeric

This inexpensive spice is the most effective remedy for healing HS boils, according to dozens of our readers. Turmeric is used as an internal treatment. While many prefer to swallow turmeric capsules daily, you can also simply take 1 teaspoon of powdered organic turmeric in 1/4 cup of water three times a day. You may also want to try diluting the turmeric in warm almond, rice, or regular dairy milk. One Earth Clinic reader found that it was easiest taken with yogurt and through a straw. For those who prefer to use capsules, 2-4 capsules are taken 2-3 times daily.

Dietary Change for HS

Many individuals who have been suffering with hidradenitis suppurativa have experienced some degree of success by making certain dietary changes. These changes include:

  • Eliminating processed foods
  • Eating mainly organic meats, produce, and other foods
  • Consuming the daily recommended amount of fruits and vegetables
  • Incorporating green juices into the diet
  • Limiting wheat, flour, gluten, dairy, chocolate, and caffeine
  • Reducing or eliminating sugar

Triggers for HS

Earth Clinic readers have found a number of things that will trigger an HS attack including:

  • Certain laundry detergents
  • Some deodorants
  • Chemicals like perfumes and cleaning products
  • Bubble baths
  • Food allergies
  • Stress
  • Hormonal changes (e.g. puberty and menstruation)

Lifestyle Changes for HS

  • Quit smoking, or better yet, do not start
  • Lose some weight, (admittedly easier said than done when you are dealing with pain)
  • Get enough rest (at least one reader found that lack of sleep make his HS worse)
  • Eat dinner earlier (one reader found that this made a difference in his outbreaks)

OTC Treatment for HS

Many remedies for HS can be found at your local drugstore, and quite inexpensively at that.

  • Witch hazel to use topically as an astringent
  • Epsom salt for baths (1 cup in a warm bath for 20 minutes 3 times a week, or as desired)
  • Iodine to use topically
  • Anti-bacterial soap

Herbs and Supplements for HS

  • Omega supplements
  • Zinc Gluconate
  • Vitamin C
  • B-complex
  • Burdock root, a blood purifying herb

Recipe for a Salve for HS

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons turmeric root powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon tea tree essential oil

Mix ingredients together. Store in a jar.  Apply to boils as needed.  Because of the turmeric, this salve will stain and old clothes should be worn after applying it.  For this reason, it may be best to apply this remedy at bedtime only.

Hi - I have been a mis-dagnosed Hidradenitis Suppurativa sufferer for over 10 yrs old and I am now 33 yrs old. I am so grateful that I found this site - I had almost given up and thought I will just stay single, as I can't imagine getting undressed in front of someone new... But now I have some hope, and that's what makes the world go round! I cannot offer any more tips, but I consolidated all / most of the ideas I saw on the forum for my own benefit, and have posted it below as I thought it might help someone else... Note these are not my suggestions but just a single posting with all of the suggestions with the most positive feedback.....

Things to consider eliminating from your diet:
Wheat / flour / gluten / dairy / caffeine / cigarettes

Daily:

3 times a day:
Turmeric mixture (the fat is important for absorpotion, as it water temperature)
1 tsp of turmeric; 1/16 of a tsp of black pepper; 1/2 to 1 tsp of coconut oil in 8 oz hot soup; broth or water (when an infection is severe it must be taken 4 times a day and it does miracles in two to three days)

Also:
Apple Cider vinegar - 2 tea-spoon full in glass of water (sip slowly throughout the day - also good for weight loss)

Omega Oils - Follow dose

Burdock Root (tablets) - Follow dose

Once a day
Bring 1 tsp of black onion seeds to a boil in one glass of water keep it boiling until the white part of the seed shows, let cool off and drink it

I started to get boils in both armpits after getting chikungunya virus from an infected mosquito bite.

I live in the tropics where the virus swept through last summer causing thousands of people to become ill.

This started September 2014, and has caused me terrible joint pain, styes, skin rash, and the boils. I bought some tea tree oil soap which has helped a lot, I bathe with it, rinse and dry thoroughly, then rub soap on the boils and dab on talc. They seem to be going now, still hard lumps but no pus. I also drink a tea made with fresh grated ginger and turmeric, you can use dried powder, cinnamon, honey and lime juice plus hot water. I have taken 4 types of antibiotics which did nothing, doctors seem disinterested and have offered no advice or medication. There is no cure or treatment for chikungunya virus, only painkillers, the effects can last for years, I had never heard of HS until I started researching the cause of boils/lesions in the armpit area. Hope there is a treatment soon for all the people suffering from HS.

I'm not medically diagnosed with HS but I think I have it from research on the net. I'm only in my first year of frequent flareups that drove me to research a little about it and luckily (I just realized this after learning that others have suffered from this much, much longer than I have) I discovered accidentally what you may call a "deterrent" in Acne soap. I only discovered this because I've been using this soap for my face for years and one time, when I had an inflamed lump, I just accidentally picked up the Acne soap from the soap dish and used it to clean the lump. I noticed within hours the inflammation lessened. With more frequency of use the next few days, it settled down and expressed a little bit of pus on its own but without pain and only left me with a bit of hyperpigmentation but no scar. Since then, I've been using the soap to my inner thigh and armpit areas (where I get them frequently) every time I take a bath and extra more when I feel a swelling starting up. Sometimes it does not even express pus out and just resolve entirely without hyperpigmentation or scarring. I hope this helps.

Hi, I think she is on to something here because I too thought my HS flare up were just acne. I get them in my groin area. I put Proactiv Face mask on the bumps before they get big and it calms them down and sometimes they dont ever drain, they will just go away. I put it on at night. Depending where the bump is you can apply Proactiv face mask during the day too. I tried this on a bump that rubbed my leg when I walked and it ended up making it worse because of the friction. So I applied EMUaid during the day and proactiv face mask at night.

I've had a love long struggle with HS, and all good stuff here, to help remedy this painful incurable ailment.

I'd like to add, the ladies at my local health food store recommended an adrenaline gland flush, I used a capsule form, every two weeks. It was amazing. Since HS only happens in the skin near these glands, there is some kind between the two.

All natural, no bad side effects, except for... Ladies, um, overproduction of vaginal moisture which, let's be honest, isn't the worst thing in the world.

I'm on a mission to find a cure, but in the meantime... Let's stick together and help each other suffer less.

There is so little research on this, and many dermatologists are stumped, because it does not behave like a skin condition. This is why I strongly feel that the skin is just a symptom, and rather HS is actually a SYSTEMIC condition.

With that, I just want to add that though it may seem like pressure would be relieved if you try to manually open the bump or boil... this does not help, it actually makes it worse, by allowing foreign bacteria into the sight, causing for a prolonged infection.

Good luck everyone!

Hi there,

Thanks for this post! I always attempt a natural cure before anything else and believe skin issues arise from a root cause from within. Interesting about the adrenals! Would you mind linking the capsule you tried?

Here's what I have done to completely stop my Hidradenitis now for nearly a month and just for the record, I have had boils in different stages at all times. Some newly forming all the way to healing purple ones and in between. I have NONE now and my scars are actually getting a chance to heal. Morning and evening, I take a body brush and brush under my arms in a circular pattern all over, then reverse the pattern and do it again, both sides. Then I wash with antibacterial bar soap, dry them then swab my armpits all over with Iodine. I use a q-tip to do that. I use the old brown stuff and so far it hasn't stained my clothes. After I put it on, I get in front of a fan and let it dry, which doesn't take long for Iodine, then put my natural deodorant on. I'm thinking I can go back to regular deodorant now cause my natural one isn't so good on me. I get BO regardless by the end of the day. I was desperate and thinking it was my deodorant, but now I don't think that was causing it because I was still breaking out after I switched. You have to be diligient and don't forget. I have forgotten the morning or afternoon swabbing and was ok but I forgot to do it a whole day and started breaking out again. I read somewhere that researchers think it's caused by sweat glands becoming blocked and the dry brushing loosens it all up. I use a natural fiber brush. I would think any stiff brush would do.

I figured after that the iodine would kill any bacteria waiting to get in. That's what surgeons swab you with before they make their incision. Lot of people are allergic to it though and I'm not sure what the alternative would be if you are allergic. If it stops working, I will come back and let everyone know, but so far it's worked for about a month now. I hope it brings relief to others like it has for me. If you're allergic to iodine, google search to see what the alternative to iodine is. I'm sure you'll find it somewhere on the internet.

This works for me too, I'm just coming off of one of the worst breakout's in years. I'm sick of dermatologists saying part of it is being over weight, i recently gained about 30 pounds due to my thyroid and menopause. I asked this last dermatologist, why have i had this for years, when i was rail thin ??? and i just lost 10 pounds !!!!

All the stuff i've been on over the years and it came down to the strongest anti bacterial soap i could find, good exfoliation, Iodone and making my grandmothers oatmeal pack, i just did this and the next day the "bumps" were flat and the inflammation was gone. get a large container of plain oatmeal, baking soda and sea salt. and generous amounts, boil like you would to eat it,put the salt and baking soda in so it boils, add oatmeal, cook until you can't see the water anymore then mash with a potato masher.apply when temperature is comfortable to you, leave on for 20 - 30 minutes. use an old sheet to lie on, remove with an old bath towel then rinse off. this works even better if you take a baking soda bath first or wash area with hot water and baking soda. you can save the remaning oat meal and just reheat it. then apply your iodine.

Hi Karen,

Just a tip for the BO. I also suffer from it. I wash my armpits thoroughly in the morning, dry them and then apply apple cider vinegar to the entire arm pit. Once it dries the odor of the vinegar disappears. Then I use my deo over that. I only discovered this at the age of 37 and have been wearing sleeveless clothing all my life until now. I can finally wear cute t-shirts :-)

As for the HS, my daughter started with it very recently. We have been to see a homeopath. She has advised to cut out gluten as the issue stems from a leaky gut. She has given us two homeopathic remedies as well as Lymphomyosot (manufactured by Heel). We are also dosing her with Zinc, Turmeric and Tissue Salts (nr 12 - Silicea).

Apparently stress and holding in feelings of hurt in the past has also contributed to the condition.

I'm hoping this all clears up and that we can heal her system.

I would just like to thank all of you out there for your courage and helpful remedies. I am a 26 yo female and like most of you I have suffered with this condition for many years. I suffered with this on my buttocks and inner thigh areas and I had so many areas that would drain all the time I was so embarrassed about it, it took a while to see medical attention. I finally was reffered to a plastic surgeon who would open each area ( about 13) and try to get to the base of the problem then use two different antibiotics on packing gauze to fill the lesions. As you can imagine this was very painful and the gauze had to be changed daily with similar appts happening every 4-6 weeks, yikes! After reading alot of the posts I decided to try taking Turmeric capsules ( or curcumin capsules, as I learned curcumin is the medinicinal ingredient in Tumeric) and only using anti bacterial soaps. I started last week taking 3 capsules per day and washing the areas 1-2 times daily, if you can believe it I am down to one area that is not healed, there is only drainage from one area (limited). I am so pleased how fast this has worked, and I am sooooooooooooooooooooo Thankful to all of you for finally helping me overcome this!!!! XO

Antibacterial Soap, Weight Loss

Posted by Tracy (Fort Collins, Colorado) on 02/12/2011

I have kept HS at bay for 8 years now with the following: 1. Wash with Lever 2000 original (Dial does not work for me). 2. Apply hand sanitizer with Aloe Vera "Germ-X" after every shower, and any time you feel sweaty. 3. I wear "Under Armour" compression shorts almost every day as they keep my groin area dry and prevent my thighs from rubbing. After your used to this, it feels comfortable and I feel undressed without them. 4. I think losing weight helped. If you Google images of HS, all the images are of overweight folks, so there is obviously a weight connections.

Finall found something that made my hidradenitis go away completely! I have had hidradenitis my whole life but sometimes I went years without a breakout. 9 months ago I got a bump in my groin area that just wouldn't go away. Every day I had to drain it and you all know the frusteration. I visited many websites and read everyone's suggestions but nothing worked for me. A couple of weeks ago I visited the doctor's office and he suggested I try Bacitracin Ointment in my nose twice a day. I just dab a little on a Q-tip and swirl it in my nose. I can't believe after 10 days my bump is completely gone!!!! He believes HS can be caused by a staph or strep infection that lives in your nose. Maybe I've had this my whole life, I don't know but it worked for me. Bacitracin is an over the counter ointment so no need to visit the doctor. I hope this continues to work for me and if it worked for me maybe it will for you too. Good luck everyone!

Hi, I wanted to tell you my remedy for HS. I did use the bacitracin up my nose, still do every evening, sometimes during the day just to keep it moist. I noticed prior to my first ever HS (June 2015) this year (I'm 55) that I had a pimple like sensitivity in the tip of my nose; inside; I thought I had a pimple. I got this sensitivity twice, prior to my eruption under my right arm pit. Since I read the post about it being a strep, which makes so much sense, I stopped shaving at all, (I was afraid it could come from the metal of the razor).

I started taking Turmeric 450 mg 3x a day (Costco brand with olive leaf) I also DO NOT use deodorant anymore. What I do is have a bowl of Baking Soda and pat it under my arm, let the excess fall into the sink, and Voila, no odor ever! I also cut out night shades (peppers, mushrooms, eggplant), I was eating a red, or yellow, pepper almost every other night in a salad. I stopped. No tomato sauce, or spices like paprika, or Spike, or even seasoned foods like Orange Chicken.

I had cut out milk products 3 months earlier only because I didn't want to have the fat hormones that accompany milk products. No cheese. You must be vigilant. We must first look at our diets.

The first HS I had, the doctor cut and packed it - never again. I screamed so bad he lost 5 patients that day. That one healed, still red though and I shaved to test it, and 3 more erupted. Back to doctor for antibiotics 2nd time in 2 months. (I hadn't taken antibiotics for over 20 years). These I did not have the doctor touch. But he said I may have to have that surgery. In my mind I said NO WAY. The surgeries have not stopped HS from what I read. I followed my routine above and have not had another. It has made me look at food, my shower, razors, my gut, my stress. Hey any of you have mold in your shower? Strep is all around us, however when your immune system is compromised, or taxed we can't fight this off. I hope this information helps someone!

By the way, I did have a cerec crown put on a tooth almost 9 months ago (I don't recommend the cerec it has only been a problem if you need a crown do it the old fashioned way). My bite has never been the same, and the tooth is still sensitive. I do believe this could be a or the initial cause of my HS problem. I still have to have a root canal now since the tooth has never been right. Perhaps our HS problems are staph due to dental work that invades our body. Toxins have to come out and it's through our lymph nodes. Its a common denominator worth looking at.

I truly feel for everyone in here. I have had HS (undiagnosed - but treated) for going on 15 year now (I'm 30). I guess that I'm a rarer case from the sounds of things, one being that I'm a guy, and two being that doxycycline actually worked for me. I have been on the med for a couple of years now and wash previously troubled areas daily with hibiclens soap and I have been boil free (for the most part) since I started the med.

From my experience... drinking alcohol makes things bad, as the alcohol in my system pushes the doxycycline out of my system and the disease comes back for 24 hours or so with a vengeance. I've also had success putting the hibiclens on troubled areas with a cotton ball during flare ups (don't wash off and re-apply when you feel the itch coming back), which somehow helps to prevent things from getting worse and spreading.

What brings me back to the online community after years of control is that my new insurance won't pay much for the doxycycline, making the drug $70 a month... I reluctantly paid for one more month of meds and received word today that I'm going to be switched over to Cephalexin going forward. Has anyone had success with docycycline and then made the switch over to cephalexin? I should mention that I've been on the doxy daily for going on 3 to 4 years now. However, I've been reading that the cephalexin cannot be taken daily due to its strength... I'd be very grateful for any feedback. Good luck everyone, here's to hoping that modern science and medicine will someday soon figure out a cure to this life-altering disease, which is surprisingly affecting a large part of the worlds population.

On that note, I also hope my experience will help someone out there who is struggling to find answers.

I was recently diagnosed, after 10 years, with HS and was somewhat relieved that their was a name for what I've been dealing with. I have been on & off cephalaxen (keflex) for about 10 years. Had several expressed and have been hospitalized twice. The keflex was the only antibiotic that seemed to work. After being on it consistently for 2+ years I was concerned about what that was doing to my body on a daily basis. Now I tend to go on it as needed. Ironically I just had the worst issue in my left armpit last Monday & needed Iv antibiotics for the past several days. Today I graduated to keflex 4x/ day for 7 days. Easier to manage as a wife and working mom. Two months ago I started with accutane for cystic acne along my jawline. While the drug came with many concerns and hoops to jump through my skin has never looked better! Then, this lump appeared last week & was so painful!! I've been online searching for ANY info that can help me not be in this situation again! I hope this helps you and others & keflex is helpful for you as well!

I went to a naturopath after suffering from H.S. for the last 20 years (since 6th grade) I found taking a trustworthy brand of antioxidants twice a day with food helped tremendously. I also take Echinacea and Goldenseal and eat a primarily vegetarian and organic diet. More than anything I believe a 12/12 probiotic supplement taken daily to be the most helpful for my HS. Do avoid smoking cigarettes or anything for best results. I plan on taking the turmeric and trying the tea tree oil. I experience the pain and embarrassment of this disease every day whether it's because of the scars or an outbreak. Good luck to all.

You can cure Hidradenitis Suppurativa, I did this :)

All you need to do is to apply apple vinegar using cotton to your affected area. Leave it there all night long . Do this for 1 week and you will start to see the results.

It is so simple but really effective.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Hello there...

I had a recent outbreak in my genital area (bikini line) from my HS. I was successful in bringing the boil to a head by covering it with a cloth soaked in ACV and it broke the skin on its own (I did not punture or squeeze out the infection/pus). However, after the skin broke and it appeared to have healed over, the boil returned. Again I did the ACV-soaked cloth and it erupted. But this time it left an open sore or "hole" where it initially broke the skin. Now there is a stinging feeling and it seeps a little with yellow pus and slight blood. I am concerned the hole will not heal or close and that it is still leaking slightly and the pain/stingin is off and on. Please help!! The only thing that seems to put my mind at ease is cleaning the area with hydrogen peroxide and covering the area with sterile gauze. What else should I be doing???

Dear Eliza,

I would try a charcoal poultice over the area. It should help with the pain and also draw out any lingering infection, as well as helping the skin to heal. You will find, "How to Make a Charcoal Poultice" in the index of the Activated Charcoal page her at Earth Clinic. You can use one poultice for overnight and change it a few times during the day.

You can also take turmeric internally. 1 teaspoon twice a day. You can mix it into milk (dairy, almond, rice etc.) or take 4 capsules.

I hope you find relief soon. Please keep us posted on your progress!

The extra vigin coconut oil, has been a great stopper for boils.The one that had started to develop just turned into a zit after about five days of application.The stuff just slowly goes into the whole area and kills the bug...well worth a try! .I use it to stop jock rash by applying it once every other day.

I started getting boils in the groin area and thought it was from shaving, then I got one on my face and another and another. I have done so much research on this and have done a ton of home remedies which most do help but I have to say, taking apple cider vinegar and baking soda and making a paste seemed to pull the pus out fast!! It's a battle that's for sure.. I am on antibiotics and you need to make sure they give you one that is for bacteria!! MRSA is immuned to some antibiotics.. DETOX!!! There is a Detox Tea with lemon.. Best of luck to all of you who deal with this. It is stressful!!!!! I believe the Home Remedies work the best for pulling infection from the skin. Boil-Ease eats the skin if you use it too long and left a bad scar on me. BAKING SODA/VINEGAR..
