Suggest Treatment For Lump In The Armpits
I have a lump/bump that keeps appearing in both armpits. They are very painful. Pus comes out and they bleed and they take a while to heal. The area sometimes become very red and painful. Not sure why they keep coming back so often or what to do to prevent. I know it's not my deodorant, because I use Crystal mineral salt deodorant. Any help please?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be ingrown hair follicle infection might be due to perspiration and even with deodorant.
Stop using deo for some time.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Apply antibiotic cream after proper cleaning.
Keep local hygiene clean and dry.
Ok and take care.
