I get them on the inside of my thighs. The dr told me that they are clogged sweat glands. Exfoliate under your arms every day when you shower and switch to a non scented/colored deodorant.

My foster daughter gets lumps under her arms, like cysts that drain some times, very painful some times. The doctor said they were infected and wanted to lance them. She went to a dermatologist and he told her what they were and that draining would not help. I wish I could find the web site i will ask her tomorrow. Different people respond to different treatment and some get no response but just knowing that they were not an infection and she did not have to worry about giving to someone else was such a relief. Her whole family has them. That web site that someone suggested is the humane society, don't know what is up with that.

They are usually sebacious cysts and nothing to worry about...
If they have heads like a pimple they are boils..
I get cysts and boils all the time, I have probably had 100 cysts and 200 boils in 10 years...
Go and get them checked up by your doctor, just in case because they can on occasion turn dangerous..
Especially if they are painful or weeping..
And it will put your mind at rest too.

you need to lose weight, either that or its the way you shave your armpits, the folicle is becoming slightly ingrown. if thats the case then don't use a deodorant until the cysts are gone. the perfume will irritate the area as well

a clogged sweat gland. try lymph massage and warm compresses at home. maybe some tight clothing can cause this. if it persists, see an internist. those can be very painful for some people. don't pick at them either. good luck.

your lympnodes are inflamed.. everybody could get it.. My cousin have one. Some of the cause is because maybe you pluck hair or shave before taking a bath.

sometimes if you put something (certain type of deoderate, bodywash, or lotion) it could irritate the skin. The skin under your arms is very sensitive.

Please check out hsusa.org. And, yes, lots of us get it. And not just in the pits. Good luck and gentle hugs to you.
