I have an infection in my underarm called hidradicsuperfa. Does anyone have info on this?

Question: A small tennis ball type shape is petruding in my armpit and is filled with infection. I am allergic to penecillin and sulfa products so antibiotics are limited. I am searching for any relief I can get to avoid a surgical procedure. Any suggestion are welcome. GMM

Ask your doctor if it can be aspirated or injected with an antibiotic that you can tolerate.

i wouldn't fear the surgical procedure too much.you want to avoid it rupturing and spilling the pus in your body! Possibly have a procedure to slice a whole to allow drainage, at that point be numbed and perhaps use some hydrogen peroxide.

I am not a doctor.

web-md.? try it. the site provides some holistic remedies. Sorry, that word must be seriously misspelled, so I'm taking a guess here. Sometimes lymph nodes become blocked and infected. It needs surgery to correct, nothing else will do it. Go to your doctor. Get the surgery.
