Doctors understand hidradenitis as purulent inflammation, which is relevant for the sebaceous glands located near the genitals, nipples, and also in the armpits. The latter most often become places for the appearance 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 into the sebaceous glands, using the mouth of the hair follicle for this.
Excessive sweating provokes the appearance of hydradenitis, which allows harmful bacteria to penetrate into the human body much easier. The only drug that can quickly and efficiently cure hydradenitis is ichthyol ointment, which can be purchased at any pharmacy.
