Abscess in armpit

2017-08-07 23:02:09
I have a large abscess (as described to me by by GP) in my armpit which as per my doc has resulted from an infection due to a hair follicle infection. He has placed be on AntiB for 2 weeks and it's not gone yet. Size has reduced dramatically but still hurts and not gone yet. He has recommended that I speak to a General Surgeon at some hospital to get it removed. Can you help me with this? I live in Mumbai and would like a recommendation for some doctors for hospitals in the Bandra santacruz Andheri West areas.
