How To Heal Pus Filled Stiffened Ball Like Lump In Armpit And Vaginal Area?

I had a lump in my armpit that looked like an ingrown hair, but when i looked at it again the next day it had a white head. so i went ahead and popped it, then after the course of about a week, it started stiffening and there was a ball of what i thought was puss underneath it. Now I have one on my vaginal area. Are these ingrown hairs?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. Having multiple lumps with pus in them most likely require antibiotics to control the infection. It could have started with ingrown hair but I suspect it has become more complicated with infection of the surrounding tissue. You would need to get consulted by your primary care doctor and treated accordingly.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more clarification or information if need be. I wish you well.
