    I'm not sure... I had something like that, but mine was just an ingrown hair.

    i get those all the time i believe.they are just ingrown hairs that are fine and blonde that you cant really see. i get mine the worst after i shave. i also get mine the worst in the tight folds of my arm pits. sometimes mine have hairs in them and sometimes mine dont have anything but pain and pus in them. i know sorry tmi its gross. how big are these lumps?

    I had one last week so I just avoided deodorant on that pit for a few days and it went away.

    when i shave my bikini area i use cortizone cream on it and it usually keeps my skin from breaking out in irritation bumps. so maybe that could help.

    Sounds like a boil. Put a hot rag on it for a few minutes then squeeze all of the pus out

    Check with doc could be losts of different things I had surgery because I had something that caused swelling under armpits it was horrid one are was cured the other not so much. I'm swollen now. And it could be milk as well. So just let your doc know so they can send labs in.

    Yea sounds like boils my Hubby gets them all the time, best way to relieve then is take the insides if a potatoes & keep it on there over night next morning should pop. Feels better than going to the E.r because they will suture it painfully

    It sounds like a boil. At pharmacys Thers a cream called boil ease that wil help with the pain an wil dry it up. My sister has them all the time. Goodluck!

    It could also be deodorant in a pore. I use to get that with stick deodorants. I have to use roll ons only. After I switched, never got one again. Happened more often after I would shave.

    @everyone thanks so much ladies I'm goin to try everythng n thanks it seems like I'm not the only one, n there's finally an answer.... but wat should I use to clean it after it pops? Alcohol/ peroxcide thanks again so much

    USe fresh aloe vera (savila) remove the skin to leave the gelatin part of it open and heat it up over the stove. Apply it to your skin as hot as you can handle and swelling will start to go down and will make it tender, then just squeeze out all the junk out of there.

    I say go to dov because again I ended up needed surgery because boils are infections and I mean def do all the remedies but do think about doc if they come back. Antibiotics will help it go away and not spread because boils tend to do that. Are you nursing?

    My sister gets boils on a regular basis, but nothing cures them for her (yet).

    Try using a tea bag

    I get ingrown hairs that cause sore bumps when my razor is to dull. However they have never pussed, they just eventually go away!
  • GregorysMommyGregorysMommy
    Yup, That Looks Like A Boil. I Would Consider Doing The Potato Thing, Works Really Well. I Had To Do That To My Mom.
  • Mami_of_3Mami_of_3
    @supermom405 so it will pop on its own? Lol I knw I'm being a weenie, I jst had a bby 3mnths ago n that was more painful...
  • Mami_of_3Mami_of_3
    @gregorysmommy I can jst cut a potato in half as long as the fresh part is on the boil right?

    Could also be staph infection, get it looked at. Because if its that in not a boil you don't want to pop it
  • tashaloutashalou
    Looks like a boil to me and iv had three in the past year and one in a very private place that left me unable to walk for a few days! The pain is awful and I was crying my eyes but hot water did help and when it popped the relief was amazing lol! Hope it gets better :)
