AB A  25-year-old  woman  presents  with  new  tender  lesions  in  her  axilla  (Figure  121-1).  She  admits  to  years  of  similar  outbreaks  in  both  axillae  and  occasional  painful  bumps  in  the  groin.  She  states  that  it  is  painful  to  have  them  opened  and  just  wants  to  get  some  relief  without  surgery.  We  elected  to  inject  the  nodules  with  triamcinolone  and  start  the  patient  on  doxycycline  100  mg  twice  daily.  Smoking  cessation  was  emphasized,  and  the  patient  agreed  to  start  on  a  nicotine  patch  that  evening.  She  had  relief  within  24  hours  from  the  steroid  injection.
