Suggest Treatment For Painful Lump In Armpit Along With Red Rash

I have a best way to describe it is a lump/bump in my armpit, it has gotten more painful and almost burning feeling as the day has went on. Also there is a red rash looking area near it not right on or close but near the spot that is hurting / burning. Can you just help me with calming down really lol and it possibly only being an ingrown hair? What to look for, symptoms, etc that can help me in this and also with deciding my net step. Thanks you so very much! I look forward to your quick and helpful reply! Thanks again!

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicleinfection producing cellulitis surrounding area.
In my opinion you might require one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3 days to cure infection and preventing pus formation.
Ok and take care.
