OMG, I am so relieved to find this thread!!!!
I have been suffering from this since I was a teenager. All dr's told me that it was just a cyst and put me on antibiotics, but they would just come back. The other thing was that I told the docs that these must be hereditary bc my Mom has them and so does my Dad! He said no way-- boils/cysts are not hereditary. So, for our whole lives, we thought we were just some freaks or something
It is such a relief to find that these symptoms have a name!! Thank you
