I've had hydradenitis for about 25 years but until recently they just said it was a cyst. In the last few months I've had more eruptions and was also recently diagnosed with fibro. My hydredenitis goes into flares and remissions but this is the most sites where I've had them since i started getting them. I use hot compresses to either draw them out or decrease the pain.
