What Causes Soreness And Bumps In The Armpit?

Hi, I have noticed soreness and bumps/lumps located in the armpit areas of both arms. I initial thought that it might have been hairbumps, but they grow large, and then seem to go down. This cycle has been going on for several months now. I just want to see if this may be of any additional concerns. Thank you!

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle. I recommend to use an antibacterial soap to clean the area. I also suggest to use an antibiotic cream such as Neosporin cream for local application.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
