🔄 Recurrent Infections in HS: Understanding the Root Causes
Table of Contents
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is more than just painful boils and cysts — it’s a chronic inflammatory disorder. One of the toughest challenges HS patients face is recurrent infections that seem to keep coming back no matter what.
But why do these infections happen again and again? And what’s the true underlying cause?
Let’s dig deeper.
Recurrent Infections in HS
🧩 The Puzzle of Recurrent Infections in HS
In HS, infection is a secondary complication, not the primary disease. Initially, the blocked and inflamed sweat glands (apocrine glands) trigger swelling and nodule formation. Bacteria then find an opportunity to invade the open, inflamed tissue — leading to infection.
This cycle can repeat over and over if the root causes aren’t addressed.
🌿 Root Causes Behind Recurrent Infections in HS
Root Cause
How It Contributes
⚡ Chronic Inflammation
Creates a favorable environment for bacteria to thrive.
🌡️ Immune Dysregulation
The immune system may overreact (causing damage) but underperform against real threats (like infections).
🛡️ Skin Barrier Damage
Open wounds and tunnels (sinus tracts) allow bacteria deep into tissues.
🧬 Gut-Immune Axis Imbalance
Poor gut health fuels systemic inflammation and immune confusion.
🍩 Metabolic Disorders
Obesity, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalances weaken immune defenses.
🧹 Toxin Accumulation (Ama)
According to Ayurveda, unresolved toxins clog tissues, lowering immunity.
👉 Unless the inflammation, immune confusion, and toxin buildup are addressed at their roots, infections will continue.
❗ Why Antibiotics Alone Are Not the Solution
While antibiotics can help temporarily clear an active infection, they do not fix:
Blocked glands
Chronic inflammation
Poor skin immunity
Systemic imbalance
Worse, overuse of antibiotics can lead to resistant bacteria and gut microbiome damage, further weakening immunity.
