    Hi Christine, I've had it since I was a youth. Been to dermatologists, ER.

    I've been armchair researching it for years.

    The only thing in common for people that go into remission seems to be diet. For me nightshades, for others dairy or nuts.

    You could start your own food diary, the inflammation seems to start about 12-24 hrs since the trigger food. Or go to a dietitian and get their guidance on identifying intolerances.

    Hi christine

    i have suffered with this for 33 years in my groin area. Only occasionally get them under my arms. Have tried all sorts, you name it I've tried it. Have had three nasty ones which wouldn't go away. One was going from groin into my buttock, two either side of vaginal area. They had been there for around 3 months until I started taking turmeric capsules. Within a week of taking the capsules lumps have gone! I have been taking them now for two weeks and they don't appear to be coming back, as they usually do go and then come back after a week. Am going to continue taking the capsules and pray that I have found something that works.

    Good luck and hope you get sorted soon xx
