Klaxon! Infected armpit cyst

[stabbybitch]

I'm in soooo much pain. I have an infected cyst in my armpit, it's really big under the skin, much bigger than golf ball. Iv been to the doctors and they just gave me antibiotics. Will mag sulphate help? Iv got some coming today but have never used it before. This is not my first cyst but I'm in too much pain to think clearly, Help me!!! I do have photos.

Doing the school run in 10mins but will be back.

If you keep getting cysts check out a condition called Hidradenitis suppurativa

I'm feeling loads better today, yay! I have ABs but they said I don't have to carry on taking but I'm going to.

A little worried as I still have a massive lump/swelling below where the cyst was which I thought was cyst too but maybe not? I'll keep an eye on that.

I have heard of that condition before but will take another look at it, thank you.

That lump may well be a lymph node that has swollen due to the infection.

I was about to suggest HS too. I have it and only got diagnosed when I noticed the spots I'd been getting on my arsenal and.groin were now appearing in my armpits. They are so painful and sometimes I can't sit properly if I have a bad one on my.bum. six months of antibiotics has marginally improved things.thankfully haven't had to go to a&e with one yet your experience sounds horrible! Hope it all heals up well
