So last Tuesday I noticed (what appeared to be) an ingrown hair under my right armpit; tender, pink and sensitive to the touch, texted the Physician Asst and she told me to do warm compresses, and we'll keep an eye on it... Went to my weekly blood draw on Thursday, and the dr. confirmed ingrown hair (boil), and he said it made sense since my WBC and NEUTROPHILS had continued to fall from the Dacogen two weeks prior, to 1.7 and 0.5... The dr. prescribed Dicloxacillin - 250mg 4 times per day for 7 days...

I've been doing warm compresses for 5 days now, and the boil is no longer tender to touch, and maybe a little smaller in size, but I got another 'smaller' one in the left armpit on Friday...

Is it typical to get these types of infections after Dacogen??

I also added my LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE and BILIRUBIN Totals, any insights on them?
