Alright fellow HS sufferers! Recently had my right armpit completely removed, best thing I ever did, no more abscesses and also no more sweating haha but after having the operation Ive suddenly had abscesses develop on my neck and throat, grown a beard to cover them but I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced something similar? 

Cheers Scrumpy!

    After my first op I started developing them on my breasts (very embarrassing) but only for about 6 months, they've since cleared up and not come back! Hopefully will be the same for you!

    Hi

    I too get lumps under my armpit and was wondering how do they do the surgery for armpit removal?

    They will only do the surgery in extreme circumstances, I have been begging for more for over a year but been told no, they basically cut out a section of infected skin and wash out any tracks under the skin x
