Yes, there are dietary approaches that may help manage hidradenitis suppurativa (HS):

- Plant-Forward Diet: Incorporating a variety of plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants (e.g., leafy greens and berries), can support overall skin health and reduce inflammation. Adding anti-inflammatory herbs or spices like turmeric may also be beneficial.

- Mediterranean Diet: This diet includes fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, fish, beans, seafood, and extra-virgin olive oil. Some studies suggest that people with HS may benefit from this diet.

- Elimination Diet: Some evidence suggests that eliminating dairy, brewer’s yeast (found in bread and beer), and reducing sugar may ease HS symptoms.
