Seems like Hidradenitis suppurativa which is recurrent inflammation of hair follicles. Shaving is one of the reason for this. Need more evaluation. Requires treatment with antibiotics. Consult for detailed evaluation and prescription since antibiotics can't be prescribed in this section.

The lesion in the axilla appears consistent with an inflamed folliculitis → follicular abscess (furuncle), likely triggered by repeated trimming, friction, sweating, or bacterial colonization (commonly Staphylococcus aureus). The surrounding skin shows mild inflammation, and the lesion looks tense, suggesting localized abscess formation rather than simple folliculitis. There are no red-flag signs of spreading cellulitis in the photo. Management Plan 1. Systemic Antibiotic (Choose one; 5–7 days) • Amoxicillin–clavulanate 625 mg BD OR • Clindamycin 300 mg TDS OR • Cephalexin 500 mg QID If recurrent episodes → consider MRSA-sensitive antibiotic depending on local pattern. 2. Anti-inflammatory + Analgesic • Ibuprofen 400 mg TDS for 2–3 days (avoid if gastritis; otherwise safe) 3. Warm Compresses • Apply warm compress for 10–15 min, 3–4 times/day This helps liquefaction and spontaneous drainage. 4. Topical Therapy • Mupirocin 2% ointment Apply BID for 7 days Helps reduce S. aureus colonization. 5. Avoid squeezing or attempting self-incision This risks deeper infection or cellulitis.
Next Steps
When I&D Is Needed If: • The lesion becomes fluctuant • There is increasing tenderness • Spontaneous pointing/pus formation → Simple incision and drainage under sterile OPD conditions provides rapid relief.
Health Tips
Most recurrences follow hair trimming or shaving due to microtrauma. Advise: • Use trimmer on higher guard, avoid very close cuts • Avoid shaving • Keep the area dry • Use antiseptic wash (chlorhexidine) 2–3 times/week • After trimming, apply mupirocin for 2 days • Consider nasal mupirocin BID x 5 days if recurrent → for decolonization of S. aureus If lesions are recurrent or multiple, evaluate for: • Diabetes • Obesity • Hidradenitis suppurativa (if chronic, double-headed lesions, scarring)

Likely folliculitis (infected/irritated hair follicles) from trimming. What to do: Apply Mupirocin ointment or Fusidic acid cream twice daily for 5–7 days. Wash area with mild antiseptic (Dettol/Savlon–diluted) or Cetaphil cleansing lotion. Avoid shaving/trimming for 1 week. Wear loose cotton clothes. If painful or big lump → take Tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg at night for itching. If the lump becomes very big, very painful, or has pus → you may need an antibiotic course (like Amoxiclav or Doxycycline) – see a doctor.
