Suggest Treatment For Itchy Bumps On The Armpit

I have these irritating bumps that itch underneath my arm. I thought it was from the deodorant I was using. I changed deodorants and a few days after that I went to sleep at a friend s house, woke up and my armpits felt sweaty. Got home and was going to shower then I looked and I seen the bumps had busted and it had a foul odor. What could this be???

Hi. It could be furuncle (boils). Take a course of oral antibiotic like cephalexin and apply mupirocin cream twice daily. You should recover in a week. Thanks
