After the plastic surgeon explained what it was, I had thought each boil was a new place but come to find out it was a sweat gland and mostly the same ones were getting infected. Lovely blockage that happened for no reason. I wash them gently let them air dry then put on a dressing to keep them from rubbing and sticking. I try...try not to pop them unless they get too huge.

Good luck with them @samaraousse , I'm really hoping to get them removed. I have them under my arms also, but right now they haven't been bothering me. I've looked at post-surgery scars of the armpits and I really don't like them.

can you get your sweat glands injected with botox?

can you get your sweat glands injected with botox?

Yep. But that's typically reserved for people who excessively sweat. Not certain of studies or treatment modalities using Botox on those glands that swell and become infected.

I used to get them on my upper thighs, under my boobs and in my armpits and they were the worst. The drainage that would come out of them could drown a small pup, too.

Ewwww...

I've not had one since losing my weight. This post had better not jinx me!!!

You might have hidradenitis supervita (guessing in the spelling) a good dermatologist should be able to help

Hidradenitis suppurativa. Good guess!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! I'm calling my doctor tomorrow. I'm nearly certain I have this.
