What Causes Lumps In Armpit?

I am a 26 yr old female I currently underwent surgery for cyst in my armpit. now I have the very same lumps back in my armpit. they are nickle size and they are very painful. I have been told that is called Hidrosadenitis, but they discription I am seeing on the website doesn t match what i am looking at. the lump is not a lesion of any sort it is not open nor is it draining at all. I am looking for more info. Can anyone help?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

based from your description, it is a recurring case of hidradenitis suppurativa. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. diagnostics and proper medical (antibiotic regimen) and surgical (incision/excision and drainage) management will be directed accordingly. daily wound care is imperative. also, maintain good hygiene and avoid strong chemicals from your deodorants causing irritation and inflammation.

hope this helps.

good day!!
