I have gotten these bumps under each armpit, not just one. This time it is bleeding and pus is coming out. please help me I don t know what to do and I am panicking

Hi,
You must have developed furuncle - a type of bacterial skin infection.
Do not panic. Start taking anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication. You can apply neosporin over it.
Start oral antibiotics in consultation with a dermatologist.
