Boils

Updated

Sir, iam getting boils mainly in the area of fold of my hand at shoulder joint that develop hairs repeatedly left followed by right vice versa since my teenage. I have used several antibiotics and drugs, even they cured, these are repeating and these are severely painful. Please suggest me a permanent treatment for this.

Are you saying it involves the hair follicle?

If that is the case, where it looks like a boil but is in the hair follicle, that's an ingrown hair, which isn't the same as a regular boil.

Learn more ingrown hair details here.

If that's what you're experiencing, there are some suggestions at the link I posted to help prevent it from occurring repeatedly.

If this isn't what you're experiencing, please post back and I'll gladly find more information for you.

I think you are having 'hidradenitis suppurativa'.
My brother is having same problem as you mentioned. He is having boils in both joints of arms. He is being treating it from last 8 yrs. Now, last year his one arm got operated to extract his sweat gland. Since then his one joint is free of boils.
Its my suggestion to you to search for 'hidradenitis suppurativa' on net.
