Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Skin Diseases

One Indian lady 46 years old came to our clinic in Eastern Healing (Telok Blangah) to consult us for her Hidradenitis Suppurativa.  She said she had Hidradenitis Suppurativa for almost 20 years. She said that she was suffering pain all the time when she walked or she touched the lesions, the the pain was very bad, but if she did not touch them, she was fine and had no pain.

She had a few surgery operations before.  A few years ago, she had operation on her arm-pits, After the operation to remove the Hidradenitis Suppurativa on her arm-pits, it never occured again. Unfortunately, her Hidradenitis Suppurativa spread to her upper thigh near her private parts, that made her difficult to walk and felt pain whenever it touched on her lesions. So, in order to avoid pain, she wore a short pant so that it would brush on her lesions when she walked. 

She went for two operations to remove her Hidradenitis Suppurativa lesions on her thigh. The surgent had to cut away the lesions and grafted a new skin taken from her buttock to patch up on the wounds. 

She said that after 2-3 years new Hidradenitis Suppurativa would start to grow again and she had now no more skin to be grafted.  So she came to see us in our clinic, looking for a way to cure her Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

When she came she was in pain, her Hidradenitis Suppurativa on her upper thigh was big and inflamed and a bit swollen.  We administered acupuncture on her and gave her herbal wash and medication to reduce her inflammation.  She came back and told us that it worked on her, the pus came out from her Hidradenitis Suppurativa and the lesions were smaller, and she had less pain.  We told her that she had to refrain from taking spicy food and toxic food like prawn heads, shrimps, squids and clams.
