Doctors understand hydradenitis as purulent inflammation, which is important for the sebaceous glands located near the genitals, nipples, and also in the armpits. The latter most often become the sites of hydradenitis, since it is in the armpits that the sebaceous glands work very actively, and the skin can be seriously injured due to frequent shaving. Most often, the development of this disease is stimulated by the so-called Staphylococcus aureus, which can penetrate the sebaceous glands, using the mouth of a hair follicle for this.
Excessive sweating provokes the appearance of hydradenitis, which allows harmful bacteria to penetrate the human body much easier. The only drug that can quickly and accurately cure hydradenitis is an ichthyol ointment, which can be purchased at any pharmacy.
