I am a 49 yo woman and I have suffered all of my life with this problem. Boils, scars, and then the blackheads on my inner thighs and buttocks. It is called hidradenitis suppurativa. I have tried so many different things on my own and through my doctor. I took many years for me to find the remedy. I have found that when I get a boil, I get a Rx from my doctor called Clindamycin. It works great! I found this incidentally when I had a tooth extracted and the dentist prescribed it to me. At the same time I had a boil and it went away almost immediately! I thought I had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I talked to my doctor about it and he agreed that it does work on some cases of acne through a dermatologist. So, I am thinking, why in the he** haven't you give it to me over all these years? Anyway, after having the boils over my lifetime, since a teenager, I have found washing with Selsun Blue helps get rid of the blackheads that are left behind. For the scars, I live with them and think that my battle scars. Haha! Life is not easy especially when you have this nasty and painful things. Please, talk to your doctor the next time you have a boil start. Skip the Tetracycline, it did not work for me. I hope this helps some of you, because I have lived my life with them cluelessly and shamefully.

As much as everyone doesn't want to hear this.. the doctors are not saying to lose weight to be jerks that do not know what they are talking about. It's not just a matter of being bigger the body chemistry changes with weight gain.. our skin and oil glands change as well and produce more sweat and oil. Every part of our bodies work to accommodate meet the metabolic needs..so ya weight loss is the first step to not getting them any more. Creams lotions specially soaps all treat the symptoms not the cause. I am talking from experience. It is hard I know. It just breaks my heart hearing some of these comments.. someone actually said " Going in the tanning bed gets ride of mine. I know tanning is not good but I'd do that than have these boils" seriously I am pretty sure skin cancer will be far worse.

Hello, I have the same issue every since puberty. I realized that when I get on birth control it almost stops, but for the most part the scars and dark spots will always remain sadly.

I agree 100% with you on the tanning bed. I noticed years ago when I went it seemed to help a lot.

Hey! Even I'm suffering from the same disease. Dr. Said that it can't be cured, but can be treated. Heavy weight is the major cause of H.A.S disease. Try a different Dr. May be that can help you.
