I get painful puss filled lumps in my underarms. They are so painful that when they come, my whole body feels feverish. I have consulted 2-3 doctors who say it is because of hormones and there is no cure for it. The pus is creamish in color and sometimes it has a bad odor. I bath twice a day and i'm very hygienic as I sweat a lot and I also don't use any perfumes or deodorants under my arms but I use talcum powder to keep it dry. Please suggest.

This is a kind of (boil) infection caused by bacteria in sweat gland. It will take time as infection may proliferat in the skin because of little blood supply in skin. It requires proper care and medications to cure it. If you want treatment consult me.
