What Causes Painful Lumps On The Armpit?

I was prescribed triamcinolone acetonide cream usp, 0.5% for lumps under my arm, possibly spider or bug bites. This cream doesn't seem to do any good at all, and now developing more spots under my other arm. after looking up boils-I think that's what I have. Will this med do any good at all for boils? Thanks
