Hidradenitis vs MRSA: Think you have hidradenitis suppurativa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidradenitis_suppurativa. It something that you should discuss with your family doctor or dermatologist. There are several treatments (medications, surgery, laser, etc.) Another though is that you have multiple infections with MRSA which is a tricky form of a Staph bacteria. Again it is something that your PCP can diagnose.
