What Does Boil With Pus Under Right Arm For 15 Years Indicate?
I am 36 year old female. I have a boil under my right arm for almost 15 years now. I take homeopathy medicine. Once doctors have taken contents from inside by actually operating it, without removing the whole thing and found that it does not contain any cancerours cells or anything dangerous. they left it untreated. The boil when active gives puss discharge and pain also. homeopathy helps to subside the pain and stop the pus. but gain after sometime this happens and agin i take homeopathy medicine. This doctor tells me that this is sinus or fistulla and it is not harmful. This will not be cured and will remain. I am 5ft 4 inches and 62 kgs. can anybody suggest what this is i am having?
Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having chronic skin infection with discharging sinus. It is not seen commonly. But common in diabetic patients and patients with compromised immune system. So better to first get done sugar level and immunoglobulin levels to rule out these conditions. Also get done ultrasound examination of local part. You need complete surgical resection of infected area and antibiotic therapy for at least 1 month. Avoid too much moisture and keep proper hygiene of axilla. Don't worry, you will be alright.
