It could be that your sweat glands are severely clogged. Arm pits are a drainage system designed to rid your body of toxins. That's why we sweat there a lot since that's one big form of getting rid of toxins. You could look into having a change of diet. Less of these: sugary foods, white-flour foods, fast-foods, junk foods. More of: leafy vegetables, water, grains, nuts and fibers. Help your body stop accumulating toxins and help drain out existing ones. You'll notice the difference. Oh and more exercise.

I had a boyfriend once who had the same problem. Had them under his arms, inner thighs, & buttocks. In his case, definitely not from shaving! I believe it is toxins, etc that get trapped in your pores which then leads to a boil or pimple.
He would also pop, or lance his boils depending on the size...and I know this sounds gross, but the crap that came out was extremely foul smelling!
He was moderately active but had a very poor diet & drank no water whatsoever. And lastly, he was overweight.
Our bodies need to flush the toxins & crap from the pores, kidneys, etc which is why drinking water is so important.
I don't really recommend what he did with them...I think it could lead to infections. But I have heard, more recently, that making a warm paste of flaxseed & applying it to the area first to draw the crap to the surface helps to draw it out easier.
If all else fails...see a doctor. Good luck!

My brother also gets boils all the time. His dermatologist told him to get Aveeno (for the bath) and put some bleach (maybe a 1/2 a cup
in the water)fill up the bath tub, and NOT stay in the water with the bleach more than 10 minutes. Maybe you should ask your doctor about this treatment.
Some people are more prone than others to getting boils, keep your skin clean (2 showers a day) .... good luck ...

Those sound like just pimples from germs on the skin. Use some coconut oil before and after shaving.

Go to the dermatologist it could be a skin infection. Try using a zinc based crean like the ones for baby´s diaper area...

Do an advanced YA search for "boils". Someone else asked the same question today.

Sometimes these happen when your immune system is low from stress. Try washing with an antibacterial soap regularly.
Keep clean and dry, reduce stress, eat a healthy diet
