What Causes Bumps Under The Armpits?

Hello, I have these liquid pussy bumps showing up under my armpit... they start out red and like a lump inside of the skin and sore. Then puss will show up with almost a dried out scabby top. I do pop them to relieve some pain. But when one is calming down another one will show up. It started at the top of my armpit and is working it s way down my side....

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bumps under the armpits which occurs due to infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis and due to blockage of clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum,dead skin and bacteria get infected.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment such as mupirocin and do yoga and meditation daily. You should get hormone levels monitored. Make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Take Multivitamin supplements. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist and start treatment accordingly. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
