A member asked:
23 f. i have 2 sores under each arm pit after shaving but it's been three (3) days since shaving and there still there, what are they?? what i can do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be infected: hair follicles, called folliculitis, that could lead to a skin abscess. Be careful of shaving in these areas and if you have access to healthcare facilities, you may get a MRSA infection. If they enlarge or do not go away after 2-3 days, you need to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
