Suggest Treatment For Lumps In The Armpit
Hi, I have a few lumps under my armpit, they were so painful! couple of them oozed greeny bloody stuff when I pressed with cotton bud. I m on antibiotics and it s not as painful, no longer oozing. Still itchy though. There were no blackheads and no smell. Can it be hs? My Gp thinks it is. Please help! I m worried it will spread in other areas.

Hello,
As you explain it most probably it is an infection of hair root called folliculitis.
Taking antibiotics will help.
Also, keep the armpit clean and dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
