Hi. The problem you are suffering is called hydradenitis and affects the skin of armpits. The cysts can be excised, but he problem is of recurrence. If you looks after with regular cleaning with soap water, applying a liquid like Betadine( Povidone Iodine) , it may regress. I would suggest to meet a surgeon who can excise this skin and do either a skin grafting or adopts to flap rotation surgery to replace the skin. This is done if the medical and local therapy fails. This is but curable.
