recurrent abscesses

Years ago I had this problem. Its rather embaressing because its not something that is comfortable discussing with anyone. But, they were rather painful and often left scars. Finally my doctor did some blood work and we learned I am diabetic. Has your family member been tested for diabetes? There are other underlying illnesses that can also cause these. Simply do a search, perhaps on WebMD and you will find all sorts of information out there as to the causes.

I'm not a doctor but I had a little experience with this when I was younger. Certain vitamin/mineral deficiencies can cause boils and abcesses. The deficiency may not show up on tests however. Tell your relative to take a high potency multi vitamin and mineral supplement every day and that should help tremendously. The clerk at your local health food store or your pharmacist should be able to recommend a good high potency one for your relative. As long as take my daily supplement I have no problem at all with breakouts. I wish her the best of luck!

Has your family member ever been tested for diabetes? This isn't always the case but a lot of times people with this health problem tend to have abscesses/ulcerations come that have to be incised and drained. I have diabetes myself and have been blessed not to have this type of problem, but I type reports as a medical transcriptionist for a local hospital and have typed several reports of patients having these. A big percentage of these patients have diabetes listed in their medical history. I hope this can be of some help to you. Have a great evening!!

abscess is the body's inflammatory response against microorganisms which can be bacterial, viral, parasitic or a fungal infection in which parts commonly infected are the armpits, buttocks, face, legs and the sebaceous glands or oil glands that poses a risk on the skin. the most common causative organisms are the pyogenic - meaning the pus forming bacteria such as Staphyloccocus aureus, which is nearly the cause of abscess directly under the skin. this explains why it recurs but on the adjacent parts. make sure that the patient has been seen by the doctor at least at the start while the abscess is still forming. routine laboratory procedures for this type are done such as a check on blood sugar level, gram staining and culture and sensitivity test of the microorganisms present on the wound. blood sugar is significantly done to make sure that it is controlled thereby facilitating wound healing process and at the same time prevent further complications. GS and CS are done to be sure with the type of specific microorganism which in return serve as bases as to what type of antibiotic treatments can be started. these are also helpful in preventing the patient from developing resistance and tolerance as well. superinfection and other complications like septicemia which are fatal and deadly could happen should the person was treated with the inappropriate treatment modality. lastly, constant disinfection and hand washing are of advantage to prevent your body from being susceptible in acquiring the same infection. hope these help! GOD bless!

I dont know how old this post is but. Here is a suggestion being a suffer of the same thing since 2008 and just getting diagnosed after 32 incision and drainage of left and right buttocks. After several doctors and endless treatments i have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It is rare in the fact that not a lot is known about it. Please look it up and see a doctor ASAP. A doctor may or may not have heard of it. So do some research first. I feel for you family member mine was left undiagnosed for so long that i am a stage 3 severe chronic and will under go radical invasive surgery on each side. It can be maintained if caught in time. There is no known cure to it. Please do look into it. And keep me posted. Thanks

Abscesses are caused by the staphiloccocus bacteria and is quite easy to catch. All it takes is a small scratch from what appears to be a pimple and is left untreated. If a pimple or something that feels like a pimple is scratched and opened, it is a good idea to wash it thoroughly with soap before it can become an abscess. If it is drained without applying antibiotics then it might just be lying dormant in the body. The usual antibiotic used is Prostaphlin A.

I think it's worth trying to see if some extra vitamins/minerals would be helpful. My first husband had this problem, and eventually he had to have some very deep incisions cut. If your family member can avoid that, I surely would.
