Not sure how common this is..I found 5 little pea size lumps under the skin on my underarm and about 4 days later there was one that had puss coming out of the skin and it was all red around it. then 2 days later i found 2 under my other armpit.I went to the doctors and they put me on an antibiotic. Is this something I will have all my life now? Like little hard very painfull bumps? where else will they spread to?

Hi THere
Ive been around quite along time and Ive never heard that term you are using. Regardless the best way to kill a virus is with raw organic garlic. Just rub it on the outside of the skin and also be sure to eat some (a bit hot and strong breathe, but who cares!). If you cant eat then cut it up into small pieces and swallow with some distilled water. DO both of these as much and as long as you can. I guarantee that will heal the issue.
"Garlic has been shown to help our white blood cells not only defend us against cancer, but also to increase our ability to destroy tumors...Garlic has been found to stimulate interferon production, enhance natural killer cells, stop tumor growth, and even reduce the associated pain of cancer. Most of the research has been done on cancers of the digestive tract."
Best of health to you

Hidradenitis is an inflammation of the sweat glands. The cause of hidradenitis is unknown, but it may be genetically inherited. There is no link between hidradenitis and shaving or the use of deodorants. The sweat glands under the arms, under the breasts, and around the genitals and anus, called the apocrine sweat glands, become blocked in people with hidradenitis. The glands swell with pus, creating a sore, red abscess that can break open (rupture). The pus that drains out has a foul smell, and may lead to infection. Repeated cycles of ruptured abscesses leave the skin thickened and scarred. To treat hidradenitis, your doctor will recommend placing hot compresses on the abscessed areas and will prescribe antibiotics for the infection. Your doctor may need to make a small incision in an abscess to drain the pus. Severe cases of hidradenitis require surgical removal of the abscesses and, in some cases, the surrounding skin. This is followed by skin grafts to repair the area. So no, you won't have tp do this for the rest of your life.
good luck with it.
