Suggest Treatment For A Fluid-filled Lump Under The Armpit

I had a fluid filled lump come up Under my armpit. I went to the doctor and he gave me Bactrim DS and told me to wash head to toe in Hibiclens and to take a probiotic. I have done all of these things, but noticed I have a rash now that itches and clear fluid is coming from it. Is this an allergic reaction to Bactrim or is this a staph (MRSA) rash?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle. I suggest to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide and cover it with Neosporin cream.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
