I have been diagnosed with Hydroadenitis. I had a cyst a few years ago, and another one a year prior to that. Last week one popped up. I went in and had it injected and was given EES and Prednisone to take for five days. The day after the injection, things seemed better, but then last Wednesday, not only did the one injected come back, but six more under the same arm! Even yesterday, another one popped up, but under the opposite arm.
The Dr. would not inject them as he said the pressure might cause more problems then I currently have, but put me on Minocyclin and more Prednisone.
Can stress bring these on? My father also had them in his groin area and my sister had them under her arms (my sister had the glands removed under each arm, and hasn't had another problem). I am assuming this is hereditary.
Other than surgery, is there another way to prevent this from happening again? One is painful enough, but seven is a bit much!
Any information you can give is greatly appreciated!
