What Is Causing Recurring Painful Lumps In My Armpits?

For the last two months I have had a hard, painful not in my left underarm and was prescribed penicillan because of nursing my 6 mo. old. Both times it went away. This month it has occured again but in the other arm and I am begining to become concerned. I am an astmatic with bad allergies and have a hypothyroid.

Welcome to Health care magic.

1.They are infective cause with collection of pus within - most possible cause could be hair follicular infection.
2.Which needs an antibiotic treatment, in case of larger and recurrent ones - it need a small incision and drainage.
3.But once for all remember - do not press or scratch the lesions / lumps, you will only make it complicate it.
4.Avoid cloths which cause friction / irritation that will also cause recurrence - use sod nature of the clothing's.
5.Maintain local hygiene, keep area clean with antiseptic liquids, avoid shaving until completely healed - mean while use trimming instead.
6.If you follow above it will gel in complete cure. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
