Hi my name is michelle and I have a hole in my armpit, ive jad the hole now for months and been to the doctors about it twice. The doctors prescribed me with 2 different antibiotics at separate times, neither worked and the hole is still there. The hole pusses all the time and when I try to draw out the puss by squeezing it, it bleeds. It gets quite sore and smells a lot which is really embarrassing. Can you help?

Hi Michelle,
Sorry about it.
It could be skin pustule or abcess. Usually it is caused by a bacteria called Staph Aureus which responds to certain antibiotics (Augmentin, Cefixime etc). Since the antibiotic did not help you, the next option is to meet a surgeon and get the abcess drained. Post that he will prescribe you medicines to heal.
Take care Rajesh
