Could The Recurrence Of Bumps Under The Armpits Be Due To Cancer?
Age: 24 Weight: 215 Height: 5'5" Medical History: cancer runs in the family. - My query: Ever since I gave birth, I get these tiny bumps in my armpits but I assumed they were acne because I have a huge skin problem & some of them squirted puss out, were red & went away or acted just like acne. But now I have a 1/2 dime size bump that actually has three pen-tip size holes in them. Does this sound like something that needs immediate attention? Because I don't have insurance & if it's something I don't need to worry about, then I won't. But I know merca (unsure of spelling?) is big this year & could it possibly be that because of the holes in it? I've seen others who have had it & I don't want to touch my son if that is the possibility. I know, I should go see a physician, but again, no insurance so I want to make sure it's something that sounds like it needs immediate attention. Thank you.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
No need to worry or no any immediate actions are required. It doesn't sound like cancer so don't worry about that.
You may have some sebaceous cyst or other inflammatory lesion. It is not a cause of big worry. However you should take treatment of that. Consult your doctor and start treatment accordingly.
