for the past 2 and half years i have been getting these really bad bumps under my arms pits and inner thighs. possibly from my weight gain. some says they are cyst, some say acne ( which runs in my family, facial wise) and some say its from chafing or ingrown hair. i don’t have acne but it only happens to my armpits and inner thighs.
they don’t hurt but its unattractive and embarrassing to where no sleeves. not to be gross but they have a thick lick paste puss when i try to rid them. when i sweat they get real bad under my armpit like small ones that go away but i get 5 or 6 under one armpit that get real big like dime size that stay for a month or two or sometimes longer. no matter what i wear it makes them worse. the ones on my thighes are not as bad, i maybe get two on each leg and they are just big quarter sized bumps. they didn’t get like that till i started this one job and thats when they started. after i left my job they calmed down i guess from not running back and forth as much now.
my weight has always been up and down but i dont get why they appear now and not when i was a teen.
how can i treat them without having to see a doctor about them. is there an ointment i can use to heal them?
and can i only get answers from those who know exactly what i am talking about and knows whats best to use.
i would really appreciate it.

I have a face painting job at a birthday party and it is gonna be so hot… Is there anyway I can prevent myself from sweating a lot? On my face at least… I pick a best answer and thanks!

I’ve worked construction my whole life but recently got a job at a bookstore where I need to dress nice. I went to walgreens and bought their "prescription strength" antipersperant but it has had little to no effect. Can anyone help? This often creates a very embarrissing situation at work.

I’m 19 years old and am thinking of attending a piercing party at my cousin’s house for her twin sisters birthday. I’m wanting to get both my cartilage and belly button pierced. However I’m unsure if this is the right time for me to get my belly button pierced. It’s summer and this august my family and I are driving to CA to visit my dad’s family (we will most likely go to the beach and swim). Also I volunteer at an animal shelter two times a week (monday nights and saturday mornings). I also sweat a lot (I promise I’m not a gross person by any means I just have overactive sweat glands or something) and I’m worried that bacteria will get in and the piercing will get infected). Is it okay if I go swimming this august and should I worry about the piercing getting infected as I volunteer at the animal shelter? Some of my job involves me cleaning cat boxes and picking up/socializing with the cats.
I forgot to mention that the guy only uses needles and has done tons of my cousin’s piercings before.

Right now, I am using Clearasil foaming face wash in the shower in the morning. This sort of dried out my skin, just around my chin and lower cheeks. I then apply face lotion to the area. My skin gets oily during school (prob cause its shitty and smelly ) When I get home I just wash off my face with a wet wash cloth. If I go to the gym or do other physical activity that causes me to sweat or get dirty, I shower around 7 and use proactiv around 9-10. Proactiv seems like it is not doing it’s job as far as acne is concerned on my forehead area. I would like to know what some other good facial cleansers are? Also, how do you get rid of acne scars and scabs? Especially around the hairline/ in the hair next to your hairline. How do you keep acne and blackheads from being created in your hair next to your hairline/ and your hairline? Thanks, best answer gets 10 pts.
Oh, and I am 16, White male, normal skin tone in the winter, very tan in summer. If this helps?
