Re: chronic and recurring staph infections
Its been a while since your post but i thought i'd try anyways at offering some info. When you mentioned the cellulitis in your breast then the issues with your armpits and the surgery you went through it all sounded so familiar. The cellulitis and staph can all be complications to an underlying disease. My husband has a desease called Hydradenitis Supertiva. He is effected by boils and sores in the underarms, groin, rear end, and along his pant line where friction occurs. In women this condition can be seen in the same areas but in addition is under and around the breast. Now normally it is a condition onset at puberty. I am not aware if this disease can onset at other times but it might be worth looking into. There is unfortunately no cure yet for this disease and it is one that usually worsens over time. There are doctors who are knowledgable about this desease but there are others who may have never heard of it. Either way with some research and the help of a good doctor there are ways to lessen the severity of the outbreaks.
