You need to take antibiotic for the boil. External application can not heal it. So go for a check up to a doctor of your locality. Meanwhile keep the arm pit dry wash properly while bathing and dry it properly after wards. Apply some face powder to the area to keep it dry from sweat. If necessary ask again.
