What Should Be Done For Red And Swollen Bump Under The Armpit?
Hey so i have this condition under my armpit where i have like this 2 inch bump and it s red and swollen and full of puss. i also have mini giles in my armpit where pus randomly comes out from. then on my other armpit i have this pea sized open sore. what should i do?
Kindly go to a doctor and drain your pus or chances of infection will be more. This might have happened due to the shaving of your hair in armpit which might have been infected.
Kindly drain the pus as soon as possible and once it comes back to normal, whenever you shave use an antifungal cream to avoid future infections.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jilu Joseph,
General & Family Physician
