Check my wall. I mostly use vitamins, minerals and herbs and occasionally topical anti inflammatories, or triple antibiotic salve. Presently having good success with certain probiotic yeasts and burdock root tincture.

I know some people have had success taking turmeric supplements. The supplements with black pepper are best because they make the turmeric more bioavailable.

Billy Bee honey is one of the best things to help you heal! It is anti inflamatory and anti bacterial. Alot on here have tried vicks vaporub.

Click on the treatments button on my profile. I am HS free with the use of herbs and a special strain of a probiotic. I had been taking a a general probiotic but when the emergency room told me of this other strain I improved a lot with it and with a little extra zinc, vitamin C and burdock root tincture. Seems mine was caused by diet deficiencies and gut issues from IBS. I have since not kept to my diet and I still have not gotten any new flares and my body absorbed and eliminated my last HS flare bump. It was on inner thighs so I had to not wear jeans for a while or shave there and let air get to it.

Sophie it seems not the same things work the same on everyone, so read up on here of suggestions that everyone, and try them all til something works! I control my HS with diet, so I have no active HS right now. I do go off the diet when I go out, or special occasion meals, or cravings...lol, and will get a small flare up. I can tell you what my diet is if you are interested!
