Maybe its a Sebaceous cyst. That means its a cyst of a gland in your skin. I had one on my eyebrow once, it started like a pimple and ended up as a swollen bump. Luckily it went away with antibiotics, other wise my doctor said it would have to be 'drained'. If I were you I'd go to the doctor, or dermatologist.How do i get this bumpy pimple like shape from my arm-pits ?
No, it's nothing to do with not cleaning. I've had them for years. My doc didn't know what it was, but was sure it wasn't serious. Just ignore it.
I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It is a condition of re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses , that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there.
Here is a link :

If this sounds like it might be you, READ it, PRINT it out, and TAKE it to your DOC.
Its better to try to start treatment soon, it can spread over the body if left untreated. These boils can become quite large and painful. Sometimes even lasting for weeks or months , do not attempt to POP them they can then tunnel under your skin and spread all over the body. Most common areas are armpits, groin, binkni line, inner legs, and intimate places and basically anywhere that sweats and rub against clothing. Stress is a big inducer.
There is some support groups at MSN

and yahoo, and I am open for questions!
I have had this for 8 years, I was misdiagnosed for a LONG time, It was very embarrassing, painful and scary. I am just trying to help out so you don鈥檛 have to wait as long as I did.
Take a shower ever day and clean them with soap. you can use over the counter stuff you would for pimples too.
This may sound gross, but avoid shaving under your arms for a few days. It will help them go away faster. (Just be sure to wear deodorant and long sleeves)
Most likely to be a swollen lymph node, will go away soon. From http://ailments.in
Thst's gross.

Take a shower every so often.
