what causes bumps under arm pits ?

Question

I am wondering if they are cuased by deoderant or sweat or something

Answer 1

most likely you are allergic to a deoderant you are using. one thing you could possible have are boils. they form around your arm pitts, butt, and other not so nice places. if they are large and hurt that may be what it is. it's called some sort of cist that I cant recall. It usually occures in obiese people, but I have had them. Luckily they can be cured by getting removed then taking an atibiotic. '

thats probably not what you have.

Answer 2

I get bumps like that if I shave and apply deoderant too soon afterwards. It just sounds like a little skin irritation to me. You may need to change your deoderant.

Answer 3

I know exactly what you are talking about. I used to get them and still sometimes do. It can be from your deoderant, so change the type, or it could be shaving that area. So when you shave do it slowly.

Answer 4

combination of both. during the summer, i have to use a mild deodorant because when i sweat, it irritates the skin. sometimes shaving under your arms, then sweating can cause a rash. corn starch helps a lot. try using a nonscented deodorant.

Answer 5

They are ingrown hair. If you shave and apply deodorant right afterwards, they get irritated. Washing it vigorously with soap and water on a washcloth helps.

Answer 6

Im not sure how big the bumps are but could be infected follicles or cysts. Have it checked out.

Answer 7

My husband has a jillion little skin tags there. Is that what you mean? We don't know what it is.

Answer 8

my husband gets large ones (they look sort of like a burn blister) when he uses deodorant.
