What Do Small Yellow Bumps In Armpit Indicate?
Hi I noticed today that I have 3 pimple sized bumps on my armpit with a yellowish/green head. When I first looked I only saw one so I wasn t worried but 5 minutes later when I went to look at it again I noticed there were 2 more around the same spot. What could this be?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
These bumps could be infected hair follicles(boils) or lesions of hidradenitis suppuritiva.
Just do warm water compresses over the area and apply a topical antibiotic cream like fusidic acid twice in a day.
If no response is seen in five to six days,please meet a dermatologist.
Take care
