Hey everyone! I have a stubborn bump under my arm I’ve tried witch hazel, alcohol and topical and warm rags. Anyone have any other ideas?

It sounds like you need to draw it out. Prid is okay for that. It's messy though. I use some stuff I got on Amazon called Amish Origins drawing salve. It's not as messy and it doesn't stink. Other than that, bacitracin ointment is good for healing. I found a bacitracin plus aloe on Amazon that I like.

What can I do about the itching? It is the worst in the groin area.
