Could Pimple Looking Bumps Underarm Of A Child Be Viral Infection?
Hi I have a daughter that just turned 7 years old, she has pimple looking bumps under her arm pit only one side. I brought her to see to her pediatrician about 3 months ago and was advised that it was a virus. I am just curious can you provide any information on this?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe the pimple like appearance means a bacterial infection. It is to be treated completely to prevent the spread to the surrounding tissues.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment .
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, ornidazole,mefanamic acid.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
