Brief Answer:
The cyst in the armpit was probably a sebaceous cyst.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query. Unfortunately the provided details are not enough. If you have hives, taking some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily should provide some relief. But hives should not interfere with hair growth on your chest. I would insist you to kindly elaborate on the same.

The cyst in your armpit is probably unrelated. It is likely to be a sebaceous cyst. Sebaceous glands are oil secreting glands of our skin and when the opening gets blocked due to some reason, the secretions collect inside giving rise to a cystic structure.

Please let me know the details as well as the specific queries that you have and I shall guide you on the same.

Regards
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
