Painful Abscess in Armpit and Thigh

2018-02-16 19:35:46
I have been suffering from painful abscesses formed at the Armpit and Upper thigh (a few inches below the scrotal sac) regions. My earlier treatment was limited to Fusidic acid ointment and Doxycycline antibiotic (for the armpit only). Unfortunately, the condition hasn't subsided for months now and I have started to feel worried. I am looking out for a doctor specialised in treating such conditions.
