What can be done to help a large underarm pimple?

Answer by  Tammy (585)

Use a warm compress to speed along the pimple coming to a head. You can take ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.

First change your deodorant, there's a chance that it is clogging your pores. Second gently wash the area with soap and water two to three times a day. If it doesn't go away after awhile, go see your doctor, it could be a bacterial infection or a boil.

The lump is not a pimple, it is caused by your sweat duct being clogged. Keep it clean with rubbing alcohol, don't put deodorant on it, and see a doctor if you start to feel sickly. Sometimes your body tries to sweat out toxins from infections. Apply heat.
