Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been getting large acne type pimples in my underarm area most of the summer, now one large one under my breast which has caused half my breast to become red and inflamed. Just wondering what could be causing this. I have not changed deoderant. could it possibly be yeast or something internally?
