Odd bumps under arms?!


Question: I have these large bumps under my arms. They sometimes swell up and when they do they are very painful. I've seen my doctor about them and she isn't sure what they are. We did testing and it's not staph or anything bacterial. It leaks puss constantly and has red.. dots? sticking out around the under arms.

Any idea what it could be?

It could be clogged pores. Although your doctor really should be able to tell you what it is, or suggest something to do about it. Go to a dermatologist and see what they say. Something to do until then would be to stop using deodorant and/or shaving. Good luck, and hope it clears up.

Something for a dermatologist to diagnose.

No.I think another opinion is in order!
I'm praying for you!
Regards!

it could be infected hairs.
if you shave this can happen and then the skin grows over and becomes inflammed and like a pimple has to rear its ugly head sometime.
try waxing your underarms and see if the problem subsides.

it sounds like staff to me because you described what i had.one got so big and painful i had to go for out patient surgery.i think you should go to another doctor soon.
