Hidradenitis Suppurativa & Diabetes: The Hidden Link

Introduction

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful lumps under the skin, often mistaken for boils or infections. While it primarily affects the skin, HS has a deeper connection to metabolic disorders, particularly Type 2 diabetes. Research suggests that individuals with HS have a significantly higher risk of developing insulin resistance due to chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic disturbances.

At the Diabetes Reversal Clinic (DRC) by EliteAyurveda, we recognize the hidden connection between HS and diabetes. By addressing underlying inflammation, detoxification imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction, we help patients achieve long-term remission from both conditions through personalized Ayurvedic treatments.

How Hidradenitis Suppurativa Increases Diabetes Risk

🔍 1. Chronic Inflammation & Insulin Resistance

What Happens?

• HS is an auto-inflammatory condition, meaning it triggers the immune system to attack the body’s own tissues.
• Chronic inflammation leads to high levels of cytokines that interfere with insulin signaling, causing insulin resistance.

Signs of Chronic Inflammation:
✔ Frequent flare-ups of painful skin lumps
✔ Persistent fatigue & sluggish metabolism
✔ Elevated blood sugar levels despite diet control

Ayurvedic Approach:
✅ Detoxification therapies to remove inflammatory toxins
✅ Metabolic-balancing herbal formulations to support insulin function

🔍 2. Gut Health & Skin-Metabolism Connection

What Happens?

• The gut microbiome plays a key role in regulating skin health, immune response, and glucose metabolism.
• Poor gut health can trigger both HS flare-ups and blood sugar spikes.

Triggers for Poor Gut Health:
✔ High intake of processed foods
✔ Recurrent antibiotic use
✔ Unmanaged stress & poor digestion

Ayurvedic Approach:
✅ Gut-healing therapies to restore digestive balance
✅ Probiotic-supporting herbal formulations for better nutrient absorption

🔍 3. Hormonal Imbalances & HS-Diabetes Link

What Happens?

• HS is strongly linked to hormonal imbalances, especially androgen dominance and insulin resistance.
• Women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) often experience both HS symptoms and diabetes risk factors.

Common Hormonal Symptoms:
✔ Irregular menstrual cycles
✔ Excessive body hair or hair thinning
✔ Unexplained weight gain

Ayurvedic Approach:
✅ Hormonal detox therapies to balance metabolism
✅ Customized herbal formulations for endocrine health

🔍 4. Skin Barrier Dysfunction & Metabolic Stress

What Happens?

• HS affects the skin barrier, making it more prone to infections and inflammation.
• This leads to oxidative stress, which worsens insulin resistance and slows healing.

Signs of Skin Barrier Dysfunction:
✔ Slow wound healing
✔ Recurrent infections
✔ Skin darkening & scarring in affected areas

Ayurvedic Approach:
✅ Skin-healing therapies to reduce oxidative stress
✅ Anti-inflammatory herbal support to restore skin integrity
