Hi there, im having lumps on my groin area and my armpits which produces pus and swell up and causes pain after a few days if i irritate them. what do you think it could be? this has been going on from when i was 16. i am 21 now. thank you

Hidradenitis: What you describe is most suggestive of Hidradenitis suppurutiva which is a condition of recurrent skin infections usually from a bacteria called staph aureus. Treatment often consists of aggressive daily hygeine with antibacterial scrubs and potentially a nasal or oral antibiotic as well to reduce recurrence rates. A family doc, internist or dermatologist can diagnose and treat this condition.
