Hello, for about 3 weeks I have had marble size semi hard lumps forming in my left arm pit. One came to the surface like a pimple and it burst lots of dark colored blood came out and pussy yuk too. Thought it was over and more are forming again this morning with increased hardness and soreness.. I m concerned. I was taking a blood purifier, cayenne pepper so I stopped 2 days ago but the lumps have formed again. Help?
Hi..Can understand your concern.As per your query about lumps in armpit which is pus containing is folliculitis (infection and inflammation of hairfollicle) lt may have caused due to oil ,sweat or humidity in that area..You need to take antibiotics like amoxicillin with clavulanic acid.If fever and pain is also associated with it you can take paracetamol tablets.Follow hygiene and keep the area dry to prevent reoccurrence.If any allergy to antibiotics,consult a physician before starting antibiotics.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
