For a single inflamed nodule, injecting a low-dose steroid (triamcinolone) directly into the lump reduces inflammation within 24-48 hours, often dissolving the blockage without drainage.
Because Elena’s lump was inflamed but not yet a full-blown abscess, she chose .
Blocked sweat glands in the armpit due to HS are a chronic, progressive disease if ignored. Without treatment, Stage I (single lump) can progress to Stage II (recurring abscesses with tunnels) and Stage III (diffuse, interconnected tracts covering the entire armpit).
She implemented a new routine based on Dr. Aris's advice:
For severe, scarred armpits, the surgeon cuts out all the skin containing sweat glands down to the fascia (muscle covering). The wound is either stitched closed or left to heal via skin graft. Downside: Long recovery (6-12 weeks) and potential arm mobility issues.
If you have multiple blocked glands or recurring flares, topical creams will not work. You need medication that calms the immune system.
