Specializes in Wound care

Hidraadenitis?: Infections in this area can be related to the glands in the skin. Good clean hygiene, weight loss, loose fitting clothing etc can help prevent flare ups. abscesses need to be lanced. See an MD to be sure. there are some new treatments

A member asked:

I've had recurring boils on buttocks. After using benzoyl peroxide daily and Hibiclens weekly, they're mostly gone. But occasionally I'll get one or two. Could it be MRSA or is it more likely normal Staph? If MRSA, should I worry or do something else?
