I have an infected axillary sweat gland. Do I need antibiotics, or will it clear up unattended/with hot packs?

---

I've had them once before, in the other arm, so I know what it is. I'm getting pus and blood from it. I was put on antibiotics before, but I'd rather not have to make a trip to the doctor and pharmacy if I don't absolutely have to... Advice please?

And yes, I do know not to wear deodorant while it's infected.
You can try the hot packs if you want, but don't let it get worse. I had one the size of a golfball in my groin, and now have one on the other side. It takes forever to burst, and when it does, it stays open. You really should have it lanced, not all antibiotics will shrink it. Try neopsorin, keep it covered so nothing irritates it, it's hard to say if it will heal once it bursts..it is a very hard place to heal on it's own.  (+ info)

Hi SU,
Thanks for the information. Could you tell me the names of the homeopathy medicines that your friend used so as I can just ask my doctor?
Sweating is a natural process that occurs in our bodily process and its normal. It also help us to eliminate bad toxins in our body. However, too much sweating is really not a normal and it is called Hyperhidrosis.

Sometimes, using any products like antiperspirant, topical cream and other solutions is not Enough!. You can seek a medical professional that help you to stop excessive sweating, because most of the Doctors are not qualified in treating hyperhidrosis.  (+ info)

anything you know about thyroid gland disease please.
thanks a lot n_n
All types of hyperthyroidism are due to an overproduction of thyroid hormones, but the condition can occur in several ways: In Graves' disease, the release of excess hormones is triggered by an autoimmune disorder. For some unknown reason, the body attacks the thyroid, causing it to spill out too much hormone. At other times, nodules called toxic adenomas develop in the thyroid gland and begin to secrete thyroid hormones, upsetting the body's chemical balance; some goiters may contain several of these nodules. In subacute thyroiditis, inflammation of the thyroid causes the gland to "leak" excess hormones, resulting in temporary hyperthyroidism that generally lasts a few weeks but may persist for months. Although rare, hyperthyroidism can also develop from pituitary gland malfunctions or from cancerous growths in the thyroid gland.

Hypothyroidism, by contrast, stems from an underproduction of thyroid hormones. Since your body's energy production requires certain amounts of thyroid hormones, a drop in hormone production leads to lower energy levels. A common cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks thyroid tissue. The tissue eventually dies and stops producing hormones.

Hypothyroidism can also result when the thyroid gland has been surgically removed or chemically destroyed as treatment for hyperthyroidism. If you are exposed to excessive amounts of iodide -- perhaps from a hidden source such as cold and sinus medicines, the heart medicine amiodarone or from certain contrast dyes given before some x-rays -- you may be at greater risk for developing hypothyroidism, especially if you have had thyroid problems in the past. The drug lithium has also been linked as a cause of hypothyroidism. Untreated for long periods of time, hypothyroidism can bring on a myxedema coma, a rare but potentially fatal condition that requires immediate hormone injections.

Hypothyroidism poses a special danger to newborns and infants. A lack of thyroid hormones in the system at an early age can lead to the development of cretinism (mental retardation) and dwarfism (stunted growth). Most infants now have their thyroid levels checked routinely soon after birth. If they are hypothyroid, treatment begins immediately. In infants, as in adults, hypothyroidism can be due to a pituitary disorder, a defective thyroid, or lack of the gland entirely. A hypothyroid infant is unusually inactive and quiet, has a poor appetite and sleeps for excessively long periods of time.

Cancer of the thyroid gland is quite rare and occurs in less than 10% of thyroid nodules. You might have one or more thyroid nodules for several years before they are determined to be cancerous. People who have received radiation treatment to the head and neck earlier in life, possibly as a remedy for acne, tend to have a higher-than-normal propensity for thyroid cancer.  (+ info)

ANYTHING about thyroid gland diseases
* i checked wiki already... anything else?
The thyroid gland is a soft tissue gland and absorbs a lot of things that can effect it's performance. A good example of this is the heavy metal aluminum. There is an estimated 13 million Americans suffering from hypothyroid (low thyroid function) condition that do not know they have the problem.

Much of the problem is associated with eating SOY products and peanuts found in peanut butter. Soy is being put in so many foods made in America today and is masked by naming it things like "textured vegetable protein" that is actually a refined soy food. Also soybean oil is being used in many things like salad dressings, cooking oils, etc., etc. It is even being used to make cheese cheaper by pizza companies like Pizza Hut, etc. Soy is a goitrogen and this inhibits mineral absorption, especially iron (over 50%). This isi why so many vegetarians are anemic. Soy slows the thyroid function down and can be found in the literature of drug companies that make thyroid products like Synthroid telling people to not eat soy because it counteracts the effectiveness of the drugs.

The rise of industrialization, corporate farming, and mass production of food has drastically changed our food supply from what our ancestors ate. Many studies show the detrimental effects of refined sugars and grains on our health. These foods are very taxing on the thyroid gland, and we consume them in large quantities.

Environmental stress such as chemical pollutants, pesticides, mercury, and fluoride are also tough on the thyroid. Fluoride widely used toothpaste and water treatment inhibits the functioning of the thyroid gland. Additionally, mercury will diminish thyroid function because it displaces the trace mineral selenium, and selenium is involved in conversion of thyroid hormones T4 to T3.

The food you eat, the environment we live in, and chemicals being added to the water supply and food can greatly affect the thyroid functions. It's no wonder more and more Americans are suffering from thyroid problems.

Additionally, the solution doctors present is to take the easy way out and treat the symptoms by giving drugs to people like Synthroid rather than treat the cause. The problem is that the Synthroid drug basically kills the thyroid function and you become dependent upon the drug for the rest of your life.

A lot of thyroid problems could be solved by eliminating fluoride, mercury, aluminum, and other heavy metals from the diet and environment. Also, by eliminating all SOY products from your diet, you can greatly increase the health of your thyroid and in many cases restore the gland's normal functions.

Another good food to eat for the thyroid is coconut oil. It contains a lot of lauric acid that is very good for the thyroid.

good luck to you  (+ info)

Help! What is the best way to Combat sweat caused by Aporcine Sweat glands?

---

My head gets stinky when I sweat due to the Apocrine Sweat glands. Apocrine glands is triggered by emotions like, Anxiety, nervousness etc.

If I go to a Dermatologist, will they help cure it? I know that you can get your Apocrine gland removed via Surgery, but thats a little too extreme.

Is there a medication you can take? Or an ointment of some sort? Thanks.
Yes....a dermatologist would be your best bet.

Boy, that would be a tough spot to have overactive sweat glands!! Not sure if you are male or female but very short hair would help.....as would a hair gel that contains alcohol to dry the scalp and also cleanse it really thoroughly to keep bacteria to a minimum that is causing the odor. Can ask the dermatologist about chloraphyl......supposed to sort of 'color' odors in excessive sweat.  (+ info)
