Puss From Hard Ingrown Hair Under Left Armpit, Severe Pain. No Help From Cleaning With Peroxide. Remedy?
Hi. I have an ingrown hair under my left armpit that started to seep puss, and is giving off a puss like scent. My mom told me to clean it with peroxide, but its not really helping, and just makes more puss leek. Should I go see a doctor, or is there a solution to help it at home? Its become hard as well and is very painful

Hi
If any thing more hard and painfull you should see your doctor because it might need incision and draining of puss and antibiotics. You can put glycerim magself mixed with betdine ointment and dress it if its mild.take vitamin c also.Hope this may help you.
thanks
