Suggest Treatment For Painful Bumps Under The Arms
Well my daughter has boils under her armpit and are very painful..she went to see a doctor and he gave her antibiotics for infection. She said that she is getting more. Very concerned on what to do next. One of the boils did drain and pus was coming out. What can I do to help her?
