Could Abscess In Armpit Cause Harm?
I have an abscess below my armpit next to my left breast and it recently popped on its own and I've been occasionally putting pressure on it to help the drainage, but its still extremely hard inside about the size of a baseball. is that normal and what can i do to soften it again?

Hi.
You need a coverage by a broad spectrum antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory medicines for the proper care . Apply sterile dressings. Rest to the area.
