Dear Ms
Going by description of white bumps , they are likely to be either due to fungal infection or skin tags with inspissated secretion. Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination. It would be very helpful if you could provide me with clinical photograph for further assessment and advise.
Also kindly provide me with following additional information
1. Is there associated itching?
2. Is there involvement of one or both armpit ?
3. Since how long have you been facing this issue ?
Awaiting your response
Take care
