General Surgeon 's  Response
hi.

yes, i suggest you consult with a physician, since your problem is recurring. it might be a case of hidradenitis suppurativa.. a doctor's physical examination is needed to confirm it. medical and surgical (if indications are found) management will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
