I have a pimple like reddish lump on my right armpit, it hurts when touched, it has been popping out on both armpits simultaneously. It normally used to get cured by itself but this time its hurting and it has grown bigger it makes me feel very uncomfortable. Could it be some fungal infections? Cause ive been applying "Candid" powder after every bath, yet its not going. Please help.

This can be a simple boil or dangerous hirradenitis supparitiva. If it clears in 3-5 days most likely a boil. Else visit a dermatologist. You can do hot fomentation locally in arm pit. Apply a antibacterial cream ; candid powder is just a add on.
