A member asked:

Within the past week i have gotten two big pimples filled with pus under my right armpit. they didn't occur in the same spot though. i don't shave.

Pimple under armpit: The groin and armpit (axilla) are common locations for pimples. Keep the area clean and dry. Take a warm bath, this sometimes helps to bring pus to the surface. You can use antibiotic cream daily. Best of luck.
