I am currently 24 years old, & since I was about 14 years old I have had these "infections" come up on my breast. It is kind of like an ingrownIngrown toenail hair, but I do not have that much hair on my breast. The area starts out turning very red then turns into a pimple type sore & the area becomes very tender to touch. Sometimes there is a core in the middle of the sore, & I take a sewing needle & remove it & the area isn't as tender to touch, & a few days later is heals & turns into a scar. This eveningEvening primrose Evening primrose oil, I had a sore on the side of my breast, so I used a needle & tried to remove "the core" but instead a dark brown puss came out, there was about enough puss to cover my pinky fingerAmputated finger Amyloidosis on the fingers Clubbed fingers Cryoglobulinemia - of the fingers Finger pain Herpes zoster (shingles) on the hand and fingers Janeway lesion on the finger Kawasaki's disease, peeling of the fingertips Nail abnormalities Replantation of digits Ringworm, tinea manuum on the finger nail. I have been to many specialist & none of the doctors had ever seen these types of sores before. One specialist said dont reuse razors when I shave my underarm, another said it might be from sweatingSweating Sweating - absent (I do not sweatSweat electrolytes test Sweat test Sweating Sweating - absent much at all). The last time I had a "bad" sore I went to my doctor & she gave me 2 shots in my buttocks area & told me to come back for a checkup. I lost my insurance 2 days later & was never able to have the checkup. I do not have insurance at this point of time so I am unable to still go to the doctor & see specialist.
I have about 16 scars on both of my breast, & the sores do not seem to be going away any time soon. I have a strong feeling that these sores are caused by the littleLittle noses decongestant Little tummys hairs on my breast. Do they have laser hair removal for breast? Would that way be a good way to get the hairs off my breast so I do not keep getting these sores.
The sores are always on the side of my breast. Please, any help or tips will be great.
check out this link below. i think you have hidradenitis-suppurativa. i have this and only figured out after doing MUCH research myself. i went to a dermatologist in PA who knows about it. he put me on an antibiotic (cefilexin...though i'm not sure that's how to spell it) and a vitamin called nicomide. he also told me to start using an anti-bacterial soap, cetaphil, because the perfumed body washes i was using were no good. i'm also on birth control pills and i read that in some studies it's been known to help. i haven't had much recurrence since starting this treatment. i'm knocking on wood right now because i currently don't have any insurance. don't know if that's what is on the side of your breast, as that's not were i get them, but it sounds like it. good luck.
