Has Anyone Gotten A Abscess Form On The Back Of The Neck Near The Hair Line?
I was brushing my hair and felt immediate pain on the back of my neck along the hair line. I felt a abscess size of a nickel. Luckily i have an appointment tomorrow with my dermatologist i will ask about this and discuss wound treatment for my HS flares i am not sure how to treat the draining of HS abscess..
I had one that was surgically removed. I use to wear my hair longer to cover it because people always asked, "what did you do burn yourself with the curling iron?" Now I have a short haircut because I wanted it short. With draining abscess I clean and cover with gauze and tape the best I can. Sometimes my doctor would give me antibiotics and sometimes that helped...sometimes it didn't. Hopefully your dermatologist can discuss care and treatment with you.
Yes, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) lesions can appear on the nape of the neck, which is the back of the neck where hair begins to grow. These lesions can look like deep, pea-sized bumps, similar to acne cysts or boils, and can last for weeks or months.
