Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 (((Melinda))), so sorry, had these. 1st dr said my jeans were too tight. Actually, I blamed it on the underwear, seemed the rubber elastic caused it, I think it irritated the hair & ducts there. Antibiotics cleared it up once. (Tetracyclin)Then once I used the Erythromycin in a roller applicator for acne- that worked. Had to change the kind of panties I wore, went to high cut, & ones with no front leg elastic. & no support hose, or control tops. Basically nothing that binds & makes you sweat- no nylon. Tucks help.(Witch Hazel) Have also had them in armpits, had to get the 1st one drained, it hurt too bad to deal with. He said the pasty deodorant was plugging the pores. Now I use antibacterial soap to shave with, and shave everywhere there has ever been one, and havent had any in years- knock on wood. May have also had something to do with the heavy creams I used, or perfume? (leaving a film)I think thats what I figured when they started on my chest, between my breasts, whre I sprayed perfume.Now I use baby lotion or oil. Have had a terrible time with my skin & sores, I thought it was d/t the lupus.I also use to never sweat, now I sweat like a pig, must keep the pores clear. I take a lot of hot baths for pain, & rub stuff a lot that hurts, that must help. I got some antibiotics from Mexico & start them right away for anything these days too. Bless your heart, hope you can get rid of them ASAP! Ask for a different antibiotic, & have dr get rid of the big ones, & try astringents, instead of the greasy antibiotic ointments. Good luck!
