But now that place has become very hard beneathe the skin, like a bone. Its itchy too and the rop of it is a bit painful too. Also i noticed 2 days ago, that a same lump like that is developing of the other underarm. Please help. What should i do?

Hello.. well first thing I would suggest you to do hot fomentation for the abscess..secondly you meet a general surgeon for it as they will help you to drain it out..you will also require antibiotics for it... you may require incision and drainage too..thank you
