They're never in good spots. HS has also historically been called acne inversa - "acne" of the "inverse areas." It's not acne (it's worse than that: acne is simple bacterial colonizations, while HS is clogged apocrine sweat glands that are colonized with bacteria and sometimes have horrendous inflammation), but it does tend to affect the inverse areas b/c the apocrine sweat glands tend to be in those areas. Like the armpits (the pressure there never goes away) and on the chest (which is already subjected to the torture device known as the bra). Thankfully I don't tend to get them in the groin area like many HS sufferers do.
I think I'm going to have to get an appointment with my dermatologist. :( Pain in the ass. Or the beltline.
