She has had two similar outbreaks in the axilla the year before. The clinician determined that the diagnosis was a mild case of hidradenitis suppurativa with folliculitis as an alternative diagnosis to be considered. The patient was started on doxycycline 100 mg twice daily and the condition cleared within 1 month. The patient was also a one pack per day smoker and she agreed to quit smoking for her health and to decrease her risk of further outbreaks of hidradenitis.
