Hello dear I understand your concern It is due to the staphylococcus infection.That is present in the skin. Take following advises: Apply bacitracin ointment three times a day for 7-10 days Avoid sweats in the armpit and wear pure cotton loose clothes that will help in the air circulation. Maintain hygiene and sanitation Apply warm pad application, do gentle shaving and avoid to use old razor. Do not pop up as it cause spreading of infection. Hope this may help you
