Who Should Be Consulted For Sweat Gland Infection?

Hi. I've had a sweat gland for the last 3 years that constantly gets infected. It began when I was pregnant. My Dr. gave me antibiotics several times, but it kept coming back. It's located between my vagina and thigh, in the crease where the two connect. Should I go to a GYN for this or a dermatologist?

Hi,

You should get consulted with dermatologist for best treatment for infected sweat gland. Apart oral antibiotics, you might need surgical treatment.

Consult with dermatologist first. If he/she will ask for surgical treatment, then, should schedule appointment with general surgeon.

Wish fast recovery!
