Suggest Treatment For Painful Bump On Arm
I have a small bump under my arm that is irritated from me messing with it... it was a bump I had been messing with for a few weeks and then stopped... I just realized it has become pointy and irritated.. Should I be worried? I also put hydrogen peroxide on it just now...

Hello,
I can understand your concern for the painful bump on arm. It appears to be related to folliculitis or furunculosis of the affected area.
In my patients I prefer to apply a cream containing mupirocin for two tines and pain killer tablets. Stay at cool places and don't touch the area. Meet a dermatologist for further help.
All the best.
