had simalar problem and could not get any answers. researched simalar conditions for over two years. finally found a possibile answer (not a cure but keeps them at bay). cut out all pork out of your diet. read all labels and take caution no chips fried in pork fat no lunch meat no canned meats etc. etc. it took me about three months for the bacteria enzymes ? what ever it is in pork to get purged out of my system and it worked. have not had any reoccurances since then. it may be worth a shot ain't gonna hurt. good luck.
diagnosis- hidradenitis suppurativa- large and painful boils in the groin area. considering injections. success rate? . this condition started 2 years ago and exacerbated with shaving. it is extremely painful cannot be improved with excessive hygiene is embarrassing has resulted in multiple scars and had a psychological effect on me also. i am considering the injections. my dr. said it's botox but i read that it's antibiotic. i just want it to go away! sometimes the boils last 2-3 weeks. can it be permanently cured or go into a "remission period"? it's so gross!
