Finding Stability With Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Neha’s Ayurvedic Healing Journey at EliteAyurveda
Table of Contents
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) affecting the area under the breasts can be especially difficult for women.
Heat, sweat, friction from clothing, and hormonal changes often make symptoms persistent and uncomfortable.
At EliteAyurveda, HS is treated as a systemic inflammatory condition, not a local skin infection.
The aim of care is to reduce inflammation, prevent recurrence, and improve day-to-day comfort, rather than chase short-term relief.
This is the journey of Neha, a 38-year-old woman who came to us seeking stability after years of repeated flares.
Day 1: When Daily Comfort Becomes a Challenge
Neha had been experiencing HS symptoms for over 4 years, mainly affecting the under-breast (inframammary) region.
Initial Condition
- Lesions: Recurrent painful nodules beneath both breasts
- Discharge: Occasional pus discharge, worsened by sweating
- Pain & tenderness: Discomfort during walking, bending, and daily chores
- Skin irritation: Burning sensation and redness due to moisture and friction
- Scarring: Early thickened scars from repeated inflammation
- Heat sensitivity: Symptoms worsened in warm weather
- Clothing discomfort: Difficulty wearing fitted innerwear
- Digestive symptoms: Bloating and heaviness after meals
- Sleep: Disturbed during active flares
- Emotional impact: Self-consciousness, hygiene concerns, frustration
Although topical treatments gave short relief, new lesions kept returning.
Understanding Inframammary HS From an Ayurvedic View
From an Ayurvedic perspective, under-breast HS develops when internal inflammation meets local heat and moisture.
In Neha’s case, contributing factors included:
- Weakened digestion leading to inflammatory buildup
- Poor clearance of metabolic waste
- Heat-dominant inflammation affecting sweat channels
- Friction and moisture aggravating local tissues
- Hormonal fluctuations intensifying flares
- Stress reducing immune balance
This explained why surface treatments alone were not enough.
EliteAyurveda’s Care Plan for Inframammary HS
Neha’s treatment was designed after assessing her digestion, hormonal pattern, skin sensitivity, and daily routine.
The approach focused on internal correction along with local skin care, introduced gradually.
Key Areas of Focus
- Improving digestive efficiency
- Reducing systemic inflammatory load
- Supporting immune balance
- Managing heat and sweat sensitivity
- Personalized herbal external therapies for under-breast lesions

Care was adjusted step-by-step to ensure comfort and sustainability.
Progress & Clinical Stability
With consistent treatment and follow-up, Neha experienced measurable improvement.

By discharge, Neha achieved clinical stability, with a clear plan to prevent relapse.
Why This Approach Works for Under-Breast HS

- It supports digestion and immune balance
- It addresses sweat, friction, and heat practically
- It respects lifestyle and body-comfort needs
- It focuses on prevention, not crisis care
The aim is predictable control, not perfection.

Doctor’s Perspective
“Under-breast HS is not just a skin issue — it reflects how internal inflammation reacts to heat and friction.
When the system is balanced, the skin becomes calmer and more predictable.”— Chief Physician, EliteAyurveda
