<human>: Hi, I am 26 yrs old, weight : 75 kgs Height : 5 feet 8 inches currently staying at London. I would be returning to India next Month.I am having hair follicle infection in my both under arms, and its very painful becuase of many boils appearing. I am having issue in my arm movement also.London docs prescribed me an antibiotics Floclaxocillin and same cream. It didnt work at all. They are now telling me for an operation to remove pus from the infected area.I had this problem a year back when my family doc prescribed me D-SWEAT antifingal powder, it was very effective. Since I forgot to bring my powder, what should I do? Any home treatment? I have used home remedies as the hot paste of turmeric powder, it was good but it didnt work completely.Currently I have two antibitocs Ciplox 500 and Ampisyn-500. Do you think any of these can work a bit.I would be getting my prescribed medicines by next weekend. Please suggest me a solution till then.
<bot>: Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor.infection in hair follicle is mainly due to bacteria, and it will be cured only when right antibiotic according to sensitivity is used. If there is large amount of PUS form you should Chat Doctor.  Present antibiotic are not working to indicate that organism is resistant to that and if pus is small, so you need to change it. Imperically you can take Amoxicillin 500 mg with clavulanic acid 125 mg three times a day for 5 day, Cefuroxime 200 mg 2 times a day, to receive pain Diclofenac potassium 50 mg as and when required. Medicine should be taken under guidance of clinician and if you are allergic to any medicine contact to clinician. Regards,
