Abscess: If u hv had seb.Cyst b4, now have a firm, ropey, warm tender area, chances r this is related. Very common is a condition called hiradenitis supportiva... Basically, it means u happen to be an unlucky person who's sweat glands plug easily & on top of that get infected. Start w warm compresses now. Do not try to "pop" or cut urself! if area bigger tmw see dr! & deodorant, no antiperspirant.
