Control your Weight
Your diet and your weight can play a big role in your skin condition. For instance, diets high in high glycemic foods like white potatoes, rice, and white bread can increase your chances of having more painful outbreaks. On the other hand, diets that are centred on whole grain products, low-fat meats, and fresh fruits and vegetables can lower your chances of skin outbreaks, as well as lowering your weight in a healthy manner.
Caring for your Skin Naturally
One of the biggest things you can do to help reduce your chances of having this condition reoccur is to take proper care of your skin. For example; do not use loofahs, washcloths, or similar items when bathing. These items can be contaminated with the germs that can spread the skin condition. You want to use a disposable cloth when you bathe.
Germs and contaminants that can cause your skin to have a break-out of this condition can be found on bar soaps. You should consider using liquid soaps because the germs cannot be transferred inside the soap container.
Although antibacterial soap ingredients will help to kill the bacteria on your skin, they can also dry out your skin and increase your break-out. If you are thinking of using an antibacterial soap try this instead, soaps that contain honey, cinnamon or clove oil.
Hidradenitis suppurativa treatments are widely varied, and some of them are costly and painful. Living Norm details the natural ingredients in soaps designed to help prevent this condition.
