hi everyone. i went to see an allergist today for sun allergy. i had bloodwork back in December and today was the follow-up, my immune system is all good. he asked me questions to try to determine what could be causing the hives from sun exposure and he asked me if i have any bumps. i said well now that you mention it i have had chronic boils since i was 15, so almost 28 years now. i think it is hidradenitis but have never been diagnosed. he gave me a referral to a dermatologist.
i typed hidradenitis in the search engine here and was shocked that these posts came up! sucks that this condition exists but glad i have other people to go thru it with.
the first one i ever had was on my tailbone, it went away with antibiotics but then came back a few months later; i had to have it lanced. then they started at my groin area. i usually have 3-5 going on at the same time. 1 will go away and 2 more will come, 2 will go, 1 will come. i'm sure you all now how it goes.
i have had them under my arms, one had to be lanced.
hoping the dermatologist will be able to do something for me. in the 28 years i'm sure i have had over 1,000 boils, and probably more than this.
