Under arm

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Anybody have any remedies for flare ups under arm? It’s on the portion of my arm that I’m able to lift. It’s swollen & almost looks like a bug bite that’s spreading.

If a bump is pink or red and quickly growing in diameter it might be MRSA. Tell the emergency room you want it cultured for MRSA especially if it is doubling in size every 24 hours or less. MRSA grows real fast and gets out of hand fast!
