Thanks for asking!: It sounds as if you might be suffering from a chronic MRSA issue. This ties right in with the infected sweat gland issues. See a dermatologist.

Yes: If this is MRSA and is recurrent you problably are a carrier of the staph. This needs followup as well as treatment for your hidranenitis which can be a very challenging condition to manage. Please seek help from a dermatologist with expeience mananging hidradenits.
