Suffering From Cysts In Underarms, Between Legs. Tried Antiseptic Cream, No Relief. Treatment Options?
Hi, I am getting cyst/boils in my underarm and between my legs. This has been going on for months now and I have asked the doctor on several occasions what can I do. To date he has given me nothing and said there s nothing to treat them. I m getting married in 10 weeks and just can t seem to clear up the ones under my arms. I am applying antiseptic cream regularly but nothing is helping. Please help!!

Hi,it seems that you are having hidradenitis suppurativa, also knoen as acne inversa . It is a chronic disease of apocrine glands of skin, characterised by cysts, fistula and sinuses, abcesses and scars in axillae and groin areas. Intralesional steroid, antibiotics ( rifampicin, clindamycine) may improve. Sometime excisional surgery may be needed. You consult competent dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and treatment.. Ok
