Question : This small sore under My arm has taken a long time to heal . Can I do anything to speed it up ? What Can it be ?
Brief Answer:
Incompletely resolved folliculitis, topical antibiotic
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your complaint and reviewed the attached photographs.
It is looking like an incompletely resolved folliculitis.
I would recommend you to apply topical antibiotic like fusidic acid cream or mupirocin cream on the affected area twice daily for 7-10 days.
This will resolve it.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.
