How To Treat Large Lumps In Underarms?
I shower daily and scrub my armpits with a hot rag, but I still get large lumps in both my under arms. I have tried several types of deodorant but no matter what they come back. Even without ANY deo they appear. Please help, they are embarrassing and I cannot even be shirtless without self disgust

Hi! deodorants won't help you in this case!
Thanks for writing to us and I must admit that I would consider some common possibilities in your case of bilateral axillary lumps as follows:
1. normal body fat distribution
2. lipomas
3. mammary tissues
4. benign tumors or lymph nodes
Therefore, you need to see a general physician in your locality for a close examination and if needed ultrasound and needle biopsy studies for confirmation but I'm sure there is nothing to worry!
