Bacterial infection armpi & my doctor refuses to give me oral clindamycin bc i don't have bumps but i'm having odor & tried topical mupirocin & clind?

Dermatologist?: Superficial skin infections usually don't require antibiotics by mouth, and when they do, clinicamycin often isn't the best choice. Trust your doctor; or if not confident in her/his knowledge or advice, consider asking for referral to a dermatologist. Good luck!
