Boils In Armpits - Please Help Me Posted: 03-19-07 22:57pm
Hello guys,
it has been about a week now since I first
got this. After 2 days of having this I
went to the doctor and he prescribed me a
antibiotic (sulfamethoxazole). I have been
taking it 2 times a day. My condition
remained the same over those days. I
looked online and found out that icthamol
ointment (known as black salve, drawing
salve) helped the process of bringing the
boils to head and bursting them. I went to
the store and bought it and applied it the
same day. I also got campho-phenique and
applied that also. Two days later (today)
all of my boils are gone except for three
of them. The boils that are left are right
where my arpit folds down and there is no
sign of pus in the remaining boils and I
have tried to squeeze them to get pus out
but nothing happened. Is there anything I
can do to remove those boils or shall I
just continue to wait it out.
Another thing is one of the boils was
large and now it has gone. Where the boil
used to be is a hole, where it bleeds
often when I shower or clean the area. Now
today when I looked at it I notice it has
stopped bleeding and when I stretch that
area of the skin there is a hole there, I
can see a hole and I am a little scared.
Should I be worried about the bacteria
eating away my skin?
Please help me and any comments are much
appreciated.
