Pimple Like Bumps Under Armpits, Bloody Pus. Treatment?
My little sister has these pimple like bumps under her armpits. They look like normal pimples so I didn't really paid much attention and told her it would go away in time. Unfortunately her pimple would pop, leaving bloody pus and that looks like her tissues are popping out and it's been reappearing. What is it? Is there a treatment to her painful pimples under her arms? What can she do to prevent it from reoccurring ever again?

Hi pimple like bumps under the armpits can be folliculitis
It is due to hair follicle infection.it is due to moisture present inside armpits and uncleanliness of the area
It can be treated with azithromycin 500mg thrice a week for 3 weeks and application of mupirocin ointment after saline compressors.
Pat it dry in the axillae and cleansing the area regularly .avoiding frequent shaving can prevent recurrences
