You may have hidredenitis suppurativa. It's is claimed to be a rare skin condition. I don't believe it's so rare. I believe it is mostly unreported or misdiagnosed. Until more people who are suffering from this sometimes painful condition come out of the woodwork, it will continue to stay labled as rare and that means no funding for research. Could you be a sufferer and not know it?
