    Yeah I have them under my breast and armpits too. The pain is excruciating. I just had surgery under both armpits. I don't know if it's worth it yet. My dermatologist referred me to a plastic surgery who did my surgery. I would suggest you go see a dermatologist. If you haven't already.

      I have seen the dermatologist he said. They will never go away. But. We can try and control them. They are way out of control

      You can talk to your dermatologist about surgery  or get him to recommend you to a doctor who has knowledge about HS. Healing time is different for everyone.  But surgery may be something you want to consider.

    I also had little results from anti-biotics until I stumbled onto minocycline by accident. This anti-biotic has been the only one that has controlled my HS.
