After 7 surgeries on my armpits and breasts removing sweat glands and tunnels created by the HS I have continued to get abscesses. The only problem is with so much scar tissue the boils are too deep under my skin to rupture and drain. So I smell the pus inside my body when I have outbreaks. I smell it when I breathe, in my urine even when I sweat in my head. It's made life awful.
Now you have to do it twice a day.
You use gauze put soap and warm water on it clean it gently from the inside and out then dry it with gauze and wrap it with gauze and tape.
