Painful skin eruptions in both armpits.
I am suffering from this issue since when I was 19 years. I have tried Ayurveda, Homeo and Allopathic medicines without any significant improvement. The lesions are painful and they form puss and break open from time to time. I have visited big hospitals and one of them suggested surgical removal of sweat glands but did not guarantee a complete cure. I am not sure what to do next.

I think the condition is Hidradenitis suppurativa from the description provided. A proper assessment to determine the severity of Hidradenitis suppurativa is needed. It can be confused with some common skin conditions like boils or acne and hence a diagnosis is importane. Treatment is based on severity score and can be decided during a consultation. Most of the patients do well if they stick to the recommendations. Kindly see a dermatologist for a treatment plan. Further authentic information can be obtained from the link below
