Can I get antibiotics for underarm abscess at 24?

I am 24years old,female and I have an abscess under my arm please I need an antibiotic

1 Answer

Answered on 5th Dec '24

A usual way for this to occur is for the bacteria to get into a hair follicle or a gland that emits some sweat. You might notice that your skin gets red, swells up, and feels warm around the area. The best possible way is to visit a dermatologist who will cut your abscess then drain it and, you may need antibiotics to kill the virus.

I am 27 years old female and have dry skin type. Lately my skin on the torso, waist and hip has become extremely dry & flaky. Even piling doesn't affect it. I then tried aveeno cream which has reduced flakiness, but it's still very tough to touch and skin on these areas has become stretchy as well as scaly. My grandmother had this skin. It's strange because skin everywhere else is normal, but there it's becoming old and wrinkled. I drink 2-3 litres water daily, although piling doesn't help but I still oil everyday. Pls help. I also take vitamin E capsules, sea cod, vitamin c chewables, and B complex capsules. My skin overall is dry and scalp has dandruff because of this too. There are sometimes small patches of dry skin at random areas like back, forearm and torso, and when I scratch away it goes off like flakes. But this dry, rough and wrinkled skin on my torso, waist and hip is bothering me.

There are a few things you can try to help with your dry, rough and wrinkled skin. First, make sure you are using a moisturizer that is specially formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or almond oil. These will help provide moisture and nourishment to the skin. You may also want to try a richer cream, such as body butter or a balm, to provide extra hydration. 

You can also try using a gentle exfoliator to help remove any dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This will help the skin to look smoother and help with flakiness. 

In addition to using moisturizers and exfoliators, you should also make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Vitamins A, C, and E are all important for healthy skin, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help you get the nutrients you need for healthy skin. 

Finally, make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This will help keep your skin hydrated and help prevent dryness.

round like shaped rash and itchy butt cheek, what do i do?

Female | 22

Experie­ncing itchiness around your bottom? The culprit could be a fungal infe­ction termed ringworm - prese­nting as a circular, irritating rash. Its emergence­ often stems from exce­ssive perspiration or inadequate­ cleanliness of the are­a. Fortunately, treatment is straightforward: ge­ntly cleanse the affe­cted region and apply an antifungal cream or powde­r. To accelerate he­aling, opt for loose, breathable unde­rgarments, allowing proper ventilation.

Yeast infections are often caused by the development of sweat in the skin folds, wearing tight clothing, or improper bathing. It's also recommended to clean the area with water and to dry it thoroughly. You should also try to cut down on fast foods, which are also high in sugar because yeast feeds on sugar.

I have nodule on my upper scrotum

Male | 22

I suggest that you go to a dermatologist to have a thorough examination of your mole. One should make sure that other serious conditions are not the cause, such as skin cancer or infection.

I want to know about triglycerides

Male | 32

Triglyceride­s are fatty substances found in blood. Excessive­ levels increase­ health risks. There are­ typically no symptoms. High triglycerides freque­ntly occur with obesity, poor diet, and inactivity. Lowering triglyce­rides involves consuming nutritious foods, regular e­xercise, and limiting sugary intake. Maintaining he­althy triglyceride leve­ls supports cardiovascular well-being.

I have (in the last 24 hours) developed unusual blisters on my hands, fingers, nose, and cheek. Two mornings ago I woke up with a fever and chills (it has since subsided) and took Advil to help, but after two rounds of taking it, I noticed the bottle was a few years expired--perhaps this is related?

Male | 23

In the past 24 hours, if you have developed strange blisters around your hands, fingers cheek and nose then it is necessary to see a dermatologist. However, even if the expired Advil has no connection to the blisters, it is still essential never to take any medication after its expiration date. Seek specialized medical care in case your condition does not improve.

I have a big red bump on my penis, i think its an ingrow hair cause its on a folicule, how can i treat it?

Male | 18

It is crucial if you have a rash on your penis to consult a dermatologist or a doctor who specializes in the urinary tract as soon as possible. It might turn out to be an ingrown hair but you might be prone to a sexually transmitted disease.

Female | 21

Hi Muskan... Firstly, please stop using any chemical creams or other treatments as they can prove harmful for your skin. Instead, try going for moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and use natural ingredients like honey, turmeric etc. to lighten your skin. I also advise you to apply sunscreen when going out. Also, please follow a healthy lifestyle to keep your skin healthy and protected. I hope this answer proved helpful.
