How To Treat Bumps On Armpit?

Hello,



I have never had problems with abscess like bumps on my armpit until mid this year. I have had recurring ones grow on the same left armpit. sometimes they go away or sometimes they pop and we usually squeeze all the pus out. i changed my deodarant and also tred to use it sparingly because i am a clean freak.

I am really now concerned is it AIDS related or its an infection. I am about 88kg's in weight so does it have anything to do with my weight.



confused and stressed.



I only had an abscess on my buttock and back when i was 2yrs old.



Thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this could be blood born bacterial infection and nothing else you need to rule out this condition for that you have to get done the blood test or else you can have a antibiotic for long time and the best option is Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid twice in day for at least 15 days take care and have a nice day.
