General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
his condition is called in medical language as hydradenitis. Occurs mostly due to excessive secretions of sweat in particular part of the body.

Do not pop the lumps as they will only spread the infection locally into the surrounding tissues and cause more discomfort and pain.

I would advise you the following::
-Remain stress-free to reduce the sweating.
-Avoid hot and humid surroundings.
-Apply liquid povidone iodine locally to the armpits
Take a course of an antibiotic for 1 to 3 weeks so that the condition remains reversible.
I find this answer helpful
