You are expected to see a qualified surgeon or a dermatologist, the discharge from ulcers under your armpits have to be cultured & sensitivity to drugs have to established, before definitive treatment is started. Stop shaving your arm pits by unsterile blades, prefer hair removing creams. Keep your arm pits clean and dry at all times by applying talcum powder after you get treatment for your present condition.
