Suggest cure for a knot under the armpit
Patient: "i have a concern about 3 months ago i got a knot under my armpit and went to the doctor and he told me it was a boil.... and about a week ago my husband was n the hospital for the same knot under his armpit and this am i woke up with another one... when it poops its purple and has white stuff come in out of it Doctor: hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be hidradenitis suppurativa. these lesions usually occur on the underarm, especially after shaving or plucking and/or usage of deodorants with strong chemical contents. hair follicles get infected. inflammation and subsequent abscess formation occur.  medical (proper antibiotic regimen) and surgical (excision or incision and drainage) management will be directed accordingly.hope this helps.good day!!~dr.kaye
