Sea Moss for Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Anti-Inflammatory, Microbiome & Skin Barrier Support

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) affects 1-4% of the population with recurrent painful abscesses, tunnels, and scarring in intertriginous areas (axilla, groin, buttocks). HS is now classified as an autoinflammatory disease of the hair follicle -- IL-1 and TNF-alpha drive the follicular occlusion cascade. Sea moss fucoidan modulates IL-1beta (the primary HS cytokine, targeted by biologics like secukinumab and adalimumab). Zinc supports wound healing and antimicrobial defense in HS-affected skin. Sea moss prebiotic fiber addresses gut dysbiosis associated with HS flares. This guide covers HS staging (Hurley), biologic treatment, zinc supplementation evidence, and sea moss as anti-inflammatory dietary support.
