I have 2 boils under my armpits which burn a lot. I used a new hair removal cream and then shaved it off, after which it started itching and then these boils happened.

I am an 89-year-old male diagnosed with Alzheimer's in October 2016. Over the past few months, I have experienced more active symptoms.
