2017-06-13 16:00:27
I have got an boil at one of my underarms for a couple of days. Its a little big in size(not reddish or enlarged outward ),has developed a small face and is little hard. It is painful as well like any other boil. I have shaved the place,and applying antiseptic liquid over it twice a day after shower and have applied mupirocin ointment. Shall I apply something else?
