Suggest Treatment For Skin Colored Pimple In Armpit

For the past few months I have been getting these lumps under both of my armpits that randomly come and go, they are painful. I ve been to the doctor who gave me antibiotics and cream and told me I was fighting off an internal infection.. but I don t think that s the case. I feel like the bumps make me get BO even when I m using deodorant. I ve even switched too different deodorants... They don t look like pimples, they are skin color.
