I m using deodorants but still by the end of the day my underarms stink.. hope you can give me explanations regarding this..thank you so much..
Presence of painful bump with foul smelling discharge indicates folliculitis (boil) as you said. If the swelling is small and no fever, apply keep the area clean and dry, apply mupirocin ointment twice daily, and take ibuprofen tab thrice daily after food (if not kidney disease and not allergic to) for 3 days. If not getting down, or fever develops, kindly see your doctor as this will need oral antibiotics too.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
