Answers:
It would depend on where the abscesses are occurring. Yes, I know you said under your arm. Can I assume you mean in the armpit? As I said, it depends. Are you abcessing in a sweat gland, a lymph gland? Are the abcesses in the skin without gland involvement? Perhaps you need to have an abcess cultured to find out the organism is. Most likely Staph. Speak to your doctor. Your doctor can advise you on the best course of action.
