I would also recommend you start using a Tea tree oil soap when you bathe. Tea tree oil is a popular home remedy for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) that some people use to help soothe inflammation and reduce the size of painful lumps.

You can also make your own tea tree oil balm to apply to your area’s. I would not go over 5% dilution ratio into a carrier oil like jojoba oil.

Tumeric powder is a great herb by itself. Herbalist in India discovered that if you add 10% Pipeline (black pepper) it increase’s penatration upto 2400%.

If the turmeric is not working for you… I would switch to burdock root.

Burdock root is probably the most famous detoxifying agent in the herbal arsenal. It cleanses the blood by increasing the effectiveness of all the body's elimination systems. Its diuretic effect helps the kidneys filter impurities from the blood. It helps push toxins out through the skin, and it also boosts the ability of the liver to remove toxins. The bottom line is that by pushing toxins out through a variety of pathways, burdock can purify the blood with minimal side effects and with minimal stress to the body.

Here is a article I found in a old medical book….

Burdock Root for Fistula, Boils, Acne, etc.

Medical Council – A Monthly Journal for the Physican and Surgeon. Volume 15, p. 212. 1910

TO THE MEDICAL COUNCIL:

Between twenty and thirty years ago a man came to me, a Cornish miner, and asked if I could do anything for him for fistula in ano. He had been a patient in and out of Calumet Hospital, and the faculty said he could not be cured unless it was cut out. He was over 60 years old, face full of angry pimples. I told him I could do nothing for him, but told him to try simple decoction of burdock root, as his case was hopeless, any way. Next day he got a bushel bag of the new large roots, cleaned and chipped thin two quarts of them, boiled in two quarts of water gently down to one quart. I told him to wash the fistula once a day in warm soapy water, keep a clean rag to hold discharges, and take a full wineglass of the decoction till it was finished in three days. When his bag of roots was finished he was to come, it alive, and let me see him. When he had taken all he came. He felt fresh, free and easy. His face looked fresh and clear. Fistula completely healed. Very cheap and very easy to perform. No mineral or caustic used. A pint a day of the decoction would not do harm. This is better than any new treatment.

Also, in England one day I saw a man digging potatoes, covered from head to foot with boils. He was nearly dead with suffering. His poor face was a study. I asked him if he wanted a cure, and on his signifying his wishes I told him to take home some burdock roots (of which the ground was full) . I told him how to use them, and advised him to have clean clothes and to be clean himself. I saw him three weeks afterwards and could not see the mark of a single boil.

I have seen this done number of times, and it is simply marvelous in action . There is no medicine so simple and so powerful as that, and it does not make any one sick, sore, worry or weary. Also, I think nothing equals it for inflammatory symptoms in kidneys, bladder or urethra.
