Hydradenitis
Hi,
I have noticed a small pea sized lump in my under arm and went for checkup. The doctor told that is some oil gland infection over there and suggested some antibiotics. After its course completion, as lump was still in its same size he tried 2 nd level of antibiotics aswell. But, even after these lump seems to be same in size. So, doctor is saying that I need to undergo a minor surgery so he will remove it. Also, he is saying,even after undergoing surgery, there are chances where I may get similar lumps in the same area.
Is there any way to get rid of this without undergoing surgery?
What are main causes of these?
