How Can I Heal This
A myHSteam Member asked a question šŸ’­

So I got a huge one under my breast, and there is now a massive hole it's so painful. How do I heal it, or what can I do. I just put a plaster over it at the moment. Also, I got a massive one under my arm. It's hard and as big as a tennis ball, but it hasn't been drained yet. I have it for almost 3 /4 weeks

I would get an appt to see your dermatologist or even PCP. With the redness and rash extending from it looks infected and that you may need antibiotics. In the meantime, keep it covered with non-stick bandages and neosporin.
