I am having a bad flare up under my left arm, the pain is unreal. What is the best pain killers? I’ve had a soak in the bath, started my emergency course of doxycycline and applied my Fucidin cream but I am not getting any relief. Ibuprofen & Paracetamol are not touching the sides 😔😔

Hi 👋 there it can all depend but you need to get proper stuff to wash in from your doctor like octenisan or hibiscrub don’t use anything scented in the bath 🛀 or on your skin as it will irritate it you could try clindamycin cream it’s good stuff but you might not get it if the doctor 👩‍⚕️ if you can’t you will find it on the internet 👇look at this stuff below 👍
