Managing Open Lesions, Preventing Infection, and Supporting Healing — the Ayurvedic Way
Hidradenitis Suppurativa isn’t just about flare-ups. For many patients, it’s the persistent wounds — painful, draining, and often slow to heal — that cause the most disruption to daily life.
At EliteAyurveda, we understand that wound care isn’t a side concern — it’s central to both physical comfort and long-term recovery. Here’s how proper care, Ayurvedic principles, and a root-cause approach can make a significant difference.
idradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Wound Care
🔍 Understanding HS Wounds
Wounds in HS are not like ordinary cuts or scrapes — they’re chronic, inflammatory, and immune-mediated. Here’s what makes them different:
| Feature | HS Wounds |
|---|---|
| 🔥 Cause | Autoimmune inflammation, blocked hair follicles, and immune misfiring |
| 🕳️ Type | Deep tunnels (sinus tracts), ruptured nodules, open draining abscesses |
| 🧫 Risk | Prone to recurrent infection, slow healing, and scarring |
| ♻️ Recurrence | Frequently reopen in the same spots if root cause is not addressed |
🚨 Why Wound Care Is Critical in HS
Ignoring proper care can lead to:
- Secondary bacterial infections (Staph, MRSA)
- Foul-smelling discharge and oozing
- Chronic pain and movement restrictions
- Sinus tract formation and tunneling
- Non-healing ulcers and scarring
- Even sepsis in severe, uncontrolled cases
🧘♀️ The Ayurvedic Approach to HS Wound Care
Ayurveda looks at HS wounds not just as skin lesions, but as signs of deeper imbalance in metabolism, immunity, and tissue function.
Key Principles We Follow:
- 🔬 Treat from the root — support healing both internally and externally
- 🌿 Cleanse the wound without irritating chemical antiseptics
- 💨 Balance doshas involved (especially Pitta and Kapha) to reduce pus formation and inflammation
- 🩺 Support tissue regeneration (Dhatu Poshana) for long-term wound closure
- 💊 Address Agni (digestive fire) to support immune recovery and toxin clearance
🧼 Step-by-Step HS Wound Care Protocol (Visual Guide)
1️⃣ Gentle Cleansing
- Use lukewarm water to gently flush the area.
- Avoid harsh soaps or antiseptics that disrupt natural healing.
2️⃣ Non-Adhesive Dressing
- Choose breathable, non-stick wound dressings to prevent tearing during removal.
- Replace daily or when saturated with drainage.
3️⃣ Support Drainage (if present)
- Do not forcibly squeeze draining lesions.
- Let it flow naturally while maintaining hygiene.
4️⃣ Ayurvedic External Applications
- Physician-prescribed herbal pastes or oils that promote cleansing, drying, and tissue repair (avoiding naming them publicly to prevent self-medication).
5️⃣ Internal Healing Support
- Correct immune overactivity and metabolic sluggishness internally through personalized Ayurvedic plans.
- Restore gut health, Agni, and eliminate toxins.
🚩 When Wound Care Alone Isn’t Enough
If your HS wounds are:
- Persistently draining for weeks
- Reopening repeatedly
- Smelling foul or producing thick yellow-green discharge
- Accompanied by fever or body pain
…you may be dealing with secondary infection, sinus tract formation, or a sign of deeper tissue damage — requiring immediate medical attention.

This comprehensive reversal plan is the real game-changer for wound recovery.
💬 Doctor’s Insight
“You can clean and dress wounds all you want — but if the immune imbalance behind HS isn’t corrected, the skin will keep breaking down. That’s why our wound care always walks hand-in-hand with internal reversal treatment.”
— Dr. Adil Moulanchikkal, Chief Physician, EliteAyurveda
✅ Quick Do’s & Don’ts of HS Wound Care
| ✅ Do | ❌ Don’t |
|---|---|
| Keep area clean and dry | Use alcohol-based antiseptics |
| Use non-adhesive dressings | Pop or squeeze nodules |
| Seek help for recurrent infections | Assume all wounds are “just skin issues” |
| Follow internal treatment for reversal | Rely on antibiotics or creams alone |
