I'm 29 years old female, i've got infection in my left armpit due to ingrown hair. Last time when it happened 4 years back, my doctor removed the pus with injection from the boil that has appeared below that ingrown hair, now i've observed last night 5 very small boils underneath it. Suggest me some medicine to treat the infection so it doesn't spread more neither the boils increase further. Plus also suggest if I should visit some doctor or dermatologist to permanently remove those remains of ingrown hair which is causing infection again and again.

Hi, there can be many causes of ingrown here .since you are 29 you should get screened for pcos and get your random blood sugar tested .for now you can start an antibiotic and a a painkiller after consulting a dermatologist.
