How To Cure Pus Filled Sores On The Nap Of Neck And Arm Pits?
I have some pus fill sores on the nap of my neck and starting under my arm pits. These all seem to start after I stopped taking the pill. I used to sweat a lot on the pill, when I stopped taking the pill the sweating stopped. Little by little I would get these sores. Any ideas why?

Hi
You seem to be developing lesions of folliculitis .
Since you are developing these lesions since a long time, you need to take proper treatment for the same .
You should keep the affected area clean and dry . Clean it with an antiseptic lotion twice a day followed by application of a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin over the affected areas.
You might need a course of oral antibiotics along.
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it .
Hope it helps
