hidradenitis supurativa.sk. boils..?
Question:
Answers:
Yes, I agree with everything you say! My mother-in-law was diagnosed years and years after she suffered from this and why they did not diagnose earlier, I have no idea. However, she used to suffer from really bad boils, mostly on her legs, I think and sometimes had to have surgical incision and drainage of them. She died years ago of a heart condition, not from that. But, something that I always found interesting was that she never had to use deodorants (really, and she never perspired!) because she never sweated! Now, I do not know exactly what the connection is with that, but there has to be something, right? Anyway, I worked in a large teaching hospital for many years and there were quite a few cases diagnosed and treated, but as you say, a lot go undiagnosed and are called simply, "boils" I guess.
