Theres clogged sweat gland n produced a hard oval lump on armpit?
I have a small pimple-like bump on my armpit. its not really bump out but its like an oval-shape n hard…. n its painful when i press it… at first, i tried to pop it n water n white stuff came out.!!. but now nothing comes out n the bump n the pain is still there after 2 days…. and im only 14 years old… i guess its a clogged sweat gland..?is it an infection or something? what should i do to cure it besides going to the doctor?
I had one of those about 2 months ago and it was painful. My doctor recommended the following.
Keep it clean with soap and warm water.
Don’t pick at it if it pops under the skin, it can get real bad.
Don’t cover it in deodorant while it heals
Get some Neosporin and apply 3 times a day.
It will be all gone in about 2 weeks
It’s just an infected sweat gland and anyone can get them.
