I have had a problem with my armpits for years now because they seem to be dark and irritated but now the problem seems to have increse because I have a bump which i tried poppinq and a greenish liquid came out of it. What could this be and what can I do to get rid of this?
Hi, I would see a doctor about this because I am not sure you would be able to figure this out on your own. It is probably some sort of infection. And infections don’t go as easy especially bacterial in such sensitive places.
Doctors often prescribe oral antibiotic and antibacterial ointments to get rid of the infection. In some cases, they drain the bumps or cysts or whatever there is. The greenish liquid that got out is probably due to bacterial presence, it’s them that cause such colors.
If you don’t see a doctor about this, the bump will probably stay there for ages. A antibacterial treatment could get rid of the problem in 7 days tops.
