Bumps under armpits

[qhams]

For a year or so now I have been getting bumps underneath my armpits. They look like zits but are different. They dont get white heads and if I manage to pop them they still last forever. A normal zit would scab over and heal. These dont. I try to exfolliate and use a prescription cream on them but nothing is helping.

All I take is armour thyroid and low dosed test. I also take low dosed prednisone but only in the past month and this has been a long time problem.

Any ideas?

Ingrown hairs? Do you shave the hair under your arms? On another note, how you like the Armor thyroid?

Go to a dermatologist.

They may be sebum cysts...I get them from time to time, what's worse is along my jaw line from horrible laser hair removal treatments. Talk to your doctor and see if Retinol would be good to use or go to a dermatologist.

Maybe what you are describing are SKINTAGS...google that and see if thats what they are. I dont know. You cant pop skin tags, so maybe you dont have skintags.. You have to burn them off or cut them off with a nail clipper. Skin tags suck. Anywhere there is friction. In your armpits and crotch usually

Pretty sure dzone nailed it. I had a few and took dental floss and tied them. After a day or two they lost blood flow and you can just snip it off with scissors or nail clippers.

Re: Bumps under armpits

Skin tags are movable and ih the bunps are just raised and on the skin, they are most likely not that. However, the armpits are a common area for tags

I shave my armpits about once a month, however these bumps are not directly at the armpit. More at nipple height or just below. (not on my chest....more between my chest and lats.)

I have always taken armour so I dont have a comparison. First it was armour...then I added HCG...then I added test cyp...finally I added some prednisone. It was not until the adrenal supps and prednisone did I feel good. I had chronic inflammation all over body...only take 2.5mg of prednisone and it has worked wonders.

I am familiar with skin tags and I am pretty sure these arent. Thanks for the suggestion.
