Sinus infection question?

Staph infection and infected sweat glands causing knots under arm pit...10 pts. BEST ANSWER!?
lacibstell - What you describe sounds like a repeated Staph infection of the specialized sweat glands normally present in the armpits and groin - something called "hidradenitis suppurativa". Word from the famous MayoClinic.com is that there is no cure for hidradenitis suppurativa. But early treatment can help manage the symptoms and prevent new lesions from developing. Treatments depend on the extent of the affected areas and whether the sores are painful or infected. Mild cases can be treated with self-care measures, including warm compresses and regular washings with antibacterial soap. Moderate cases may require medications, such as those you rub on the affected areas (topical medications) or those you take by mouth (oral medications). Possible medications include: Antibiotics to treat infection. Antibiotics taken for a long time early in the disease may prevent future outbreaks or prevent the disease from worsening. Oral retinoid medications to stop oil gland functions and to prevent the plugging of the hair follicle. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain and swelling. Corticosteroids or immunosuppressant drugs. For severe or persistent cases or for deep lesions, surgery may be necessary. Incision and drainage. Surgical drainage or removal of the lesions may be an option when the disease involves a single small area. However, this treatment won't prevent the disease from returning and is generally used for short-term relief. Uncovering the tunnels or tracts. Cutting away skin and flesh that cover any tunnels or tracts can increase healing of the lesions and minimize scarring. This doesn't prevent the disease from returning in the treated area or another area of the body, however. Surgical removal. Surgical treatment of recurrent or severe symptoms involves removal of all involved skin followed by direct closure with skin flaps or with skin grafting (removing skin from one area of your body and attaching it to another). Full surgical removal of the affected areas can treat the disease that is present but doesn't prevent the disease from occurring in other areas. Obesity, incomplete removal and ongoing skin infections can increase the chances that hidradenitis suppurativa returns, even after surgical treatment. Good luck and best wishes.

Why does My arm swell up and is in treasonous pain after shooting methamphetamine?
You might have a blood clot in that arm. I took care of a patient who was a former heroin user. He hadn't shot up in years and then one day decided he wanted to. He shot up in his groin. His leg ended up swelling and it was real painful. A scan revealed a blood clot in his vein in his groin and it was obstructing blood flow. He was put on a blood thinner infusion and then had to take a pill for a matter of months once he left the hospital.Not only are blood clots painful but if they break loose from your arm or leg and travel they can end up in other parts of the body and really do some damage. Brain = stroke. Heart = heart attack. Lung = inability to breathe.Go get it checked out if you haven't already. You may get a lecture on quitting your habit but you won't get into any legal trouble at the hospital. We want everyone to be safe and healthy, addicts included.If you continue to inject you may want to consider 81 mg aspirin a day. It thins your blood out and reduces the risk of complications from clots.
