I noticed this a while back; upon
examining the moles I described in a
previous post here, I came to realize that
my pores seemed very solidified under my
armpits. And with a little pressure, sure
enough, pus shot out of many of them. I
ran my finger over the area and I could
feel how my pores were plugged.
This is under both arms, but is worse
under the right one. Has anyone else ever
experienced this before?

Are You Sure It Was Acne?! Posted: 08-21-04 03:27am
I've never heard of getting acne in the
armpits. I've hear of getting boils there
(that's what I got...Some are very small
& look just like acne....Pop just like
acne, etc., but there boils:x ). I guess
there is a possibility of getting acne in
the armpits...I'd say from poor
hygine/overactive sweat gland(s)!
Keep an eye on them:shock:!

Any hair follicle could get plugged and a
secondary infection could take place
leading to folliculitis or a small abscess
like what you are experiencing in the arm
pits.
Homeopathic medicine has good remedies
like merc, hepar, sulph, calc carb, thuja,
syphi, etc. To see that the eruptions
heal and also see that secondary infection
does not occur.

I've had something like that before...
But only a few of the 'zits'. I think it
might have had something to do with a new
anti-persperant I used.

When you shave under your armpits and then
use an anti-persperant deodarant that can
happen. I wouldnt worry about it too much

i never put on deodorant right after I
shave because it burns too badly, and then
itches badly. And i've also read that
using an anti-perspirant directly after
shaving has been linked to breast
cancer.

Maybe it's just from me sweating after
shaving...I don't know.

i have heard of folliculitis before, but I
always thought it had something to do with
hair on one's head or pubic hair. I'll
have to check it out sometime.

Thanks for you help, guys. I really
appreciate it.

Blocked sebaceous glands, natural oils
produce by the body getting stuck in the
pores.
