Red spots under my armpit

Asked by tara477 about 1 year ago, 11 answers.

Ok I've had this problem before and I was on meds and now its back. I have tons of red itchy spots under my right arm pit, some even look like little zits. Last time this happened one of them got really infected and thats why I was put on meds and they...

cleared up. Now for some reason it's back I don't know if my period has set something off or if it could be a bad ravor. Has anyone has this problem before? I put come cream on it so the itching has stopped but im really confused as to what the heck it is and how to not get it again. If anyone knows how I can clear it up that would be awesome thanks.

My daughter has that!!! OMG! They are right in her armpit too. she's only 6 so it's nothing to do with your period. I took her to the doctor and she said to just leave them alone and they will go away eventually. It sounded kinda weird to me that the doc gave me that advice. I can't remember for the life of me what the bumps are called, it starts with an M. The doc also said they are in the wart family, not warts, but in the family. Its been about 4 or 5 months since we first detected them and they are almost gone. Just leave em alone. don't scratch or rub them.

It could be from shaving,thats happened to me a few times.
I know its gross,but stop shaving your armpits for a bit,maybe thatll help them clear up.

You ususally don't need medication for razor burn, do you? The razor burn I have had didn't itch, it burned and stung.

well I have that too, so it cant be from razor burn or your period because im a guy, I went to the doctor who told me it was a staph infection, and he said that even with treatment it can come back, so maybe you should just go to the doctor again because thats probably what it is.

my baby boy has this rash and he is 15 months old, they look like zits you'd get on your face, I to took my son to the docs and she called it something beginning with m I can't remember, she gave me some fucidic cream to see if that helped because of the extent of them and is curently monitoring the situation.I wish they would clear up as they look awful.

OMG! may 14 months old baby has also red spots under her left armpit! doc told that it's just skin infection and gave her some ointment Mupirocin 2% so we can monitor her for 10 days if it's worsen take her back to the doc ...
I hope this ointment will help to clear them up!
