Suggest Remedy For Holes Due To Lumps In Armpit

I am 16; 5'7", and approximately 198 pounds. Several months ago, I got a lump under my arm. I've seen 6 doctors for it, and each one has given me a different story. The first one thought it was an abcess. The second thought it was a cyst. The third thought it was an infected sweat gland. The fourth and fifth thought it was some other minor infection. The sixth has decided that it's MRSA. The third doctor performed a surgery on me about 3 weeks ago to remove the sweat gland, but I continued to get worse. What I have is a hole, in my armpit, that is very painful all around it, and is red, and is currently draining a greenish pus. None of the antibiotics I've been put on have done anything to help me. I don't know where to go from this point. Or how bad this infection even is.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection producing pustules and pus pocket giving this problem.
Go for one oral antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
Go for proper dressing with antibiotic cream after proper cleaning the part.
Within few days you will be alright.
Ok and take care.
