A chronic inflammatory disease of the sweat glands (also known as sebaceous or apocrine glands) and follicles that produce hair is called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. The armpits (axillae), the area around the nipples (areola), and the anal canal all have apocrine glands. They enter the hair follicles through an opening. This could appear as a cluster of boils or an abscess. Additionally, it can be found in skin-to-skin contact areas like the inner thighs and submammary creases under the breasts. Skin irritation has been present for a while, and it can be very painful.

Introducti

on:

A chronic skin ailment called hidradenitis suppurativa causes tiny, throbbing lumps to develop under the skin. The tumors may rupture and exude pus or fluid with a disagreeable odor. Tunnels can also develop under the skin when these masses meet. The armpits, the area beneath the breast, and the groin (the crease where the top region of the thighs and the bottom of the abdomen meet) are common locations for this skin ailment to develop.

In both acute and chronic forms of hidradenitis suppurativa, homeopathic treatment aids in the healing of lumps, nodules, cysts, and boils. Another name for this ailment is acne inversa. Since it cannot be transmitted from person to person through direct skin-to-skin contact, it is not contagious. In comparison to men, women are more likely to experience it, as are African-Americans and those who have had acne in the past. In females, it typically begins post-puberty and after adolescence.

Causes:

This condition’s exact cause is not yet known. It is not an infection, and it is not brought on by inadequate hygiene. The obstruction of hair follicles is recognized as the cause of this disorder. Given that it tends to run in families, it is believed that genetics may be involved. Since it typically begins after puberty, subsequent hormonal changes are also believed to play a part in its development. A hyperactive immune system that overreacts to minor infections in the clogged hair follicles is another reason associated with this illness.

In addition to the aforementioned causes, smoking, being overweight, and having acne (pimples) are thought to be related to its development. There are more medical issues besides the ones mentioned above that increase the risk. The first of these is metabolic syndrome, a term used to describe a collection of five illnesses that raise the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. Increased blood pressure, excess belly fat, excessive blood sugar, high triglyceride levels, and low levels of good cholesterol are just a few of these disorders. Diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are the other two. IBD is a term used to describe two conditions in which the gastrointestinal tract experiences chronic inflammation.

Symptoms:

This disorder may manifest in one or more bodily regions. The armpits, area beneath the breast, groin, inner thighs, anal area, and space between the buttocks are the most frequently affected locations. Red, painful clumps, deep nodules (solid, raised under the skin), cysts (a lump holding fluid or another substance) under the skin, and boils (pus-filled pimples) can all appear in cases of hidradenitis suppurativa. Itchy pimples are possible. The boil might ooze fluid, pus, or blood and have a foul odor.

Tunnels (sinus tracts) that connect lumps may develop under the skin as time goes on. The lumps in this syndrome typically develop on each side of the body. The lumps keep disappearing and reappearing. The bumps could appear at the same spot each time, or they might move around. Stress, being overweight, hormonal changes, heat, and smoking can all make this problem worse.

Complications:

If the problem is not treated or if Hidradenitis Suppurativa is severe, complications may occur.

• Infection is more likely to spread to the affected skin area.
• deepening of the scar and scarring/pitting on the skin that has healed.
• Along with painful bumps that limit your motion, the scan has an impact on your axilla.
• HS results in hollow channels and the development of a fistula inside the body.
• If lesions or scars form close to the lymph nodes and impede the flow of lymph, swelling in the arms or legs may result.
• Due to leakage from the lesion and its unpleasant odor, people with HS frequently isolate themselves and suffer from despair.
• There is a minuscule probability of developing skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) when hidradenitis suppurativa is advanced and severe.

Homeopathic Treatment for the Disease:

Homeopathic treatment comprises conducting a thorough case study on the patient and asking him numerous questions regarding his illness and various facets of his life. Homeopathic drugs are chosen after extensive research to ensure that they don’t have any negative effects. Homeopathic remedies will increase a person’s capacity for self-healing, aid in the repair of ulcers and sinus tracts, treat current lesions, and significantly lessen pain.
