What medicine should I take for armpit swelling?
Patient's Query
I am 27 year old female . For past 2 days , I had a red slightly swollen pimple in my armpit & today I woke with lot of pain & swelling around that area ( I usually shave my underarms but this never happened before ) What medicine should I apply or take ?
Answered by Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
You have an infected hair follicle in your armpit, causing pain and swelling. This often happens when bacteria enter small cuts from shaving. Applying a warm compress on the area a few times a day can help reduce the swelling. You can also use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to clean the area and speed up healing. If the pain and swelling don’t improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.
