If I sweat and don't shower for a couple of days, hard lumps form in places of my body where I sweat the most.
Like when I was in middle school, I had a lump and rash under my breasts. My mom told me that it was a build up of sweat, and when I put baby powder on it, it healed within a couple of days.
Sometimes if I sweat and don't shower for a couple of days, I develop a lump on the inside of my thighs. Sometimes they're painful, other times I hardly feel them. But they go away as long as I put baby powder on them and shower everyday.
I have another lump (and yes, I've been sweating a lot because of not having A/C..and I'm showering for the first time in 2 days).
Should I consult a doctor? Or should I just do what I always do: Put baby powder on it and shower everyday?

well, number one you should shower every day regardless if you sweat a lot or not. it's unhealthy to be that dirty.
number two, you should be checked periodically for any abnormal cells in those areas, lumps can later lead to cancer.
do not use baby powder, the perfumes can cause abnormalities in the cells.

The sweating causes salt build up in your pores. The rash is your body trying to get rid of all the salt build up. Sometimes they are called heat rashes. The lumps form because of the salt build up stopping up the pore from releasing any more sweat and salt from your body.
Continue showering and using the baby powder. You can also try medicated powder which may relieve some of the itching caused by the rash.

Shower every day. (Especially if you are sweating). Could be a heat rash, could even be pimples.
