I : I can't diagnose your conditions. However, i recommend that you see a dermatologist who can determine if you have hydradenitis supprativa or some other type of infection.

Agree with Dr. F: It is imperative that you see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. If you don't, the lesions may keep spreading to other sites. Wish you good health.
