I'm having these really painful lumps under my arms and they're starting to form pus. It's super uncomfortable and only seems to get better when the pus drains out. Could you recommend a cream or maybe an antibiotic that could help with this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an infection, possibly an abscess or hidradenitis suppurativa. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, applying warm compresses can help relieve pain, and an antibiotic cream like mupirocin might be helpful if prescribed. If the condition worsens, oral antibiotics may be necessary.
