So I have had the wonderful luck of getting this weird infection under my right armpit. Ok so first I thought it was a pimple but then it just kept getting bigger and bigger, until it was well a quarter size. I actually had to walk around with my arm on my waist because it hurt to have my arm down. I didn't know what it was. However, the people in my community did. They kept giving me advice about how to cure it. One guy told me I should talk to it and tell it good night in the morning and good morning in the night. Haha, another person told me to put gasoline on it. Well that didn't sound very safe. Someone else told me to put a lemon leaf on it. Hmmm.....I was told by the Peace corps doctor to press a warm towel on it, that sounded about right....so I did and the next day i noticed that it was draining out from two holes. Right, it was so disgusting I almost threw up. I spent the whole day in pain squeezing out crap from this "infected pour". It was too gross. Appartently this happens a lot in tropical climates. Great!! So 2 weeks later after this one kinda cleared up I felt another one coming out. Shit, well this time before it could get any bigger I put a hot towel on it to keep it from getting big. So for the next 10 months this will probably reacure many times, but now I know what to do...
