I had a horrible abscess and then also had a couple spots of cellulitis right about that.. all in one of my arm pits. I ended up going to get the bad one drained but now 3 days later it s still hard and the one on top seems to be getting bigger. I m taking one antibiotic 4 times a day and then another one 2 times a day! I m scared I m going to have to get them lanced again or is this hardness normal? And why is what used to be the small one continuing to get bigger when I m taking so many antibiotics? They also did a culture and I had staph/MRSA present in the abscess.
