Brief Answer:
Hydradenitis suppurativa

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

thanks for query.

I fear we may be talking about a condition called hydradenitis, a chrnoic skin inflammation with sinus tracts. I had similar patient in the office recently. it is difficult to treat. I treated with isotretinoin without any success. Later referred to surgeon for steroid injection into the tract. last time she followed up was doing better but still needs care by Surgeon.

so suggest to see a surgeon.

Brief Answer:
See a General Surgeon

Detailed Answer:
hi

it all sounds to be hidradenitis however an examination is required to confirm possibilities. There are other possibilities as well. can you send a photograph as well. you can upload from the upload feature on RT side of page.

You should see a surgeon as I said earlier. draining tracts can sometimes be excised.
