Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

I had that problem before believe it or not, it was identified as a possible lipnoid and you should go get a doctor to look at it because it could either be no big deal and it will go away or it could be a sign of a more serious medical condition. If you don't get anything done by that route then it might help to change your brand of deodorant, that oddly enough made mine go away. I use Arm & Hammer, by the way. Hope this helps you out

dude that's kind of weird. is the lump big or just a small white-head thing? i would get it checked out because of the whole "creamy white paste" that came out.

It does sound like a boil, but if the lump didn't go away have it checked. You have lymph-nods under your armpit and it could be cancer, but if it went away the boil makes more sense.

Sounds like a sebaceous cyst. It's harmless unless it gets infected or inflamed-and you will know it! Then it will have to be lanced or sometimes taken out altogether. Sometime when you see your doctor it won't hurt to ask them to look at it.

Sounds like it could be as simple as a clogged oil pore/gland or more significant like a cyst. I would DEFINATELY go to see your doctor at your earliest convenience.

I'm pretty sure that was an ingrown hair. Or a pimple.

no, you probably should not worry too much - it sounds like you have a boil or a VERY large pimple, and probably need to switch deodorant.
