Aa
big bump.
Hi, I'm 18 years old and I have had these huge bumps under my arm pit for the past few days. I had one on the left that I was able to pop and it's gone down but the two on my right are really big and hurt REALLY bad and I can't pop them, Should I go to a doctor or something? cause my dad told me they were probably just ingrown hairs from shaving. (I'm a girl) and I've tried everything I can think of and it's just getting bigger and hurting more. So what should I do?
Ahh thank you, I don't have a Facebook account yet actually, but I know a lot of people have fun on there.
Glad you got it taken care of, now it can just heal up and not cause you so much pain. Thanks for updating us.
Well I went to the hospital today and got it drained, I'm now on pain meds and antibiotics. The pain is bearable but it feels better with the boil out.
Girl i had one of those come up on the inside of my leg next to the baby maker and i had to go to the hoapital to let them drain it! They said it was an abcess that could b caused by in grown hairs or anything really mine wouldnt come to a head either it had 3 pockets of puss in it amd it was huge so be careful and try to get to the dr they told me i would have mine for the rest of my life they can pop up at anytime in any place so be careful girl
Well they are bigger now. The one that is right above my armpit does rub against my bra when I close my arm. I talked to my grandmother who use to be a nurse, she said what I was describing sounded like a boil. Cause now, there is this hard solid mass under the bump. So I got some boil cream and have been putting heat packs on it all day, so now I'm just waiting for it to come to a head so it will drain, but if it doesn't in a few days my dad said he would take me to the hospital. Thank you though for responding. I've never really ever been sick or had any kind of infection so when I found two huge lumps under my right arm I kind of started to freak out. But again, thank you for posting a response.
Is your bra rubbing on these bumps after shaving by chance causing further irritation?
