Suggest Treatment For Lumps In Armpits

I have a lump in my armpit - it was thought to be an abscess - I went to general surgeon who advised it was not an abscess - it was a blockage- he said he can be taken care of by ointments and warm compression- i have used warm compressions and it is slowly going down but what ointments do i use for this issue
