Hidradenitis (Boil) treatment in Monterrey

Golondrino is the popular Mexican name for a painful inflammation that appears in the armpit, generally from infection of the sweat glands or a follicle in the area. A red, tender lump that may collect pus usually forms.

Common symptoms: Painful lump in the armpit, redness and local warmth, discomfort when moving the arm, and sometimes drainage of discharge.

When to see a doctor? Evaluation is advisable when the lump grows, hurts a lot, is accompanied by fever, or comes back repeatedly.

Which specialist treats it? Dermatology handles conditions of the skin and its associated glands, and is the field that guides the management of golondrino. Avoiding handling it yourself and letting a professional examine it is the safest option.
