Suggest Treatment For Cysts Under My Armpits Which Has Become Chronic
i have axillary cysts under my armpits and 5 surgeries to get rid of them. they keep coming back,its a chronic problem. they leak puss and blood and i use a safety pin to drain them which i sterilize. my doctor drained them a few times also. what should i do?
1. The history suggest that its infective collection in the axillary region with recurrent aetiology. 2.In this case the treatment will be a small incision and drainage with good post procedure followup dressings ( with medical personnel ) 3.If you are draining with safety pin it will never get healed and it will reoccur - as you are causing the infection ( though you are saying its sterile) 4.Maintain local hygiene, clean with antiseptic liquid, do not compress or scratch the area - it will only delay the healing process. 5.What should you do? get an incision and drainage of the fluid followed by a antibiotic course and good care of wound. 6. Avoid clothing that cause friction / irritation to the area. Good luck.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
