Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, there is likely possibility of skin infection which may be due to
- Excessive sweating.
- Some insect bite.
- Unnoticed prick.

I would like to advise you -
1) Check your blood sugar levels to rule out possibility of Diabetes.
2) Maintain hygiene of underarms.
3) Use dusting powder to keep under arm dry.
4) If no there may be need for oral antibiotics.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote.
