<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Doctor, I have these painful and recurring abscesses in my armpits and groin. They are causing a lot of discomfort and even when they subside, they leave behind scars. IâTMm wondering what tests I need to have done.  <response>: Based on your symptoms, it seems that you may be suffering from a condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. To confirm the diagnosis and determine the extent of the condition, we will need to carry out a complete physical skin exam performed by a dermatologist. We may need wound care management, examine your breasts and carry out an excision removal or incision and drainage ID if required. We may also need to do a rectal examination and culture wound to determine the severity of the condition.
