Since I got diagnosed 3 years ago I haven't been to see a doctor about it though I've had many flares and some pretty bad ones (at least for me). I keeping hearing and seeing about how there's not much doctors can do so I keep thinking I'll just be wasting their time by getting an appointment especially when I don't really know what I want them to do (what can they really do?). I guess I'm really asking if I'm being silly and should just go see a doctor?
I was like you for a long time that since there was nothing they could do I just did not go. I am seeing a DR now
I would go see a doctor. You never know some of the treatments help others and then some dont.
I would go see a Dermatologist. That way, if you have a bad flare, you already have a relationship. Also, they could have you on some meds to help.
Just added my self to this ok so I have had this scene my after having my first child my mother had them grandmother. So been to doctors all this time and for about the last few years the clusters have went away mostly my gynecologist is the closeness to being right I think they told me it wS ingrown hairs scratching with dirty nails drinking caffeine hereditary smoking eat. OK so I was on birth control wi h was iud still getting clusters so it was time to get my iud switched out doctors got it in an it fell out and it hurt he said well have to order another one I said no we won't so I used the depo shot this took clusters away get one in crease yo I talking about same place all the time once in a wheil so they told me that scence i smoke i am a stroke risk taking birth control so they had me get a tubal and I told the gyno that I need the deposit cause of theses boils and he says my ovaries are producing to much oils so he has me on pervera with is in The depo . So it is also from hormones cause I notice they will pop up right around ti.e to get my period an pop around the time I'm getting off of it. So I hope this will help someone.

I understand why you have held out, but doctors have so many different options that can help you! Please go see a dermatologist!
