Could Armpit Abscesses Be Due To Fungal Infection?
I suffer with armpit abscesses which started about 3 years ago, and I've noticed they only seem to flare up when I get thrush, could this be because of thrush or another kind of fungal infection? Thanks. I am 26, 5foot, 6, 13 stone. no other illnesses.
