unfortunately, i have been a suffer if this condition for 21 years. surgery did not even work, as after the glands were removed..as the surgical wound was healing...it found another one to attack. i have tried EVERYTHING i can think of including Colloidal Silver , to zero success. The only thing that helped me was going to the dermatologist, getting them lanced, cortisone treatment. It is very temporary, and i find that if i get sick, (very rarely) the darned thing flares up with a fever, much like a fever blister does. WHAT A NUISANCE !! Any suggestions since this posting?
