I am a 17 year old female. I had a red sore under my armpit for about 3 weeks. I thought it would get better but it hasn?t. There is no bump in it. It is just painful and hurts to touch. I?ve tried putting on mupirocin ointment but that didn?t help. Any advice or thoughts of what I could do? I?m deathly afraid of going to the doctor so anything to avoid it.
