Boil Under Armpit, Popped And Drained, Hole Left Behind, Not Closing On Its Own. Should We Seek Treatment?
my daughter had what looked like a boil under her armpit that popped and drained on its own, now so has a hole under her armpit, that doesn't seem to want to close up on its own, its only been 2 days. we're keeping it covered with gauze but I thought it would close on its own. She we seek medical treatment like stiches for this. I doesnt look infected but i dont want it to get infected.
Hi, It seems that she might have formed abscess and now burst open. Go for regular proper dressing with antibiotic cream. go for short antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor for quicker healing wound. Ok and take care.
