Anyone else here have this condition? Apparently it's common in people with hormonal imbalances.

I'm not sure if I have it. I started developing carbuncles under my arms at a young age. Sometimes I get flareups which can be extremely painful. I do notice they tend to go away when I'm at a smaller size (less friction?) and eat healthier. I know my dad had them and he developed type II diabetes. I also have hashimoto's disease, which can suppress the immune system. What do you do for it?I notice using Dr. Bronner's or any type of natural soap helps. I also change my body scrubber once a week. I don't want the bacterial buildup affecting my already delicate skin. I also try to limit sugar/carbs (so hard at times!) and eat whole grains only. It's embarrassing but I somehow deal with it. But the pain is what really affects me and when I have a flareup, I'm miserable.
