:'( HI, Im experimenting with 5 boils growing under my arm! i'v tried hot compress nothing is working should i go to the er?
:-( Oh Dear, I'm so sorry to hear that. It sounds like you have a bad case of Hidradenitis Supperativa. Have you shaved the area recently? Hot compresses are the standard treatment for boils, have you tried adding a bit of salt to it? Also you can apply Neosporin. I get them in my groin, and on my labia. They are very painful. Neosporin, or Bacitracin, etc. is what I use on mine. They can last anywhere from 4 to 10 days. I know, it's very annoying and painful. If none of those methods works, yes, please see a doctor. Be sure your not running a fever, usually the boils were burst on their own. The ER won't help you at all, if you live where I live, they treat you like you had a sprained finger. o.O I hope you feel better
