Fungal infection
My grandfather, in every summer season, get fungal infection around his axilla (a little lower than armpits) on both sides. These infections have pus inside and gives a little pain and discomfort due to its location. This occurrence of fungal infection is noticed since 3 to 4 years (only in summer season), but the intensity has increased gradually. Before that it was only prickly heat. Let us know how we can cure this. Thanks.
