Hi doctor,
I am a 22 year old female. I am getting lumps in my armpits and they are painful. I sweat a lot. I have dark underarms and it is itching too. Are these lumps something serious? Should I consult a doctor?

Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
For me pimples occur regularly and they leave spots which take a lot of time to vanish. Sometimes, they remain for long time. I do not have too many pimples, but they occur near upper lips. What to do?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
For mild acne, you just start with Benzoyl peroxide cream applied at night time or Clindamycin during the day. If it does not improve then oral antibiotics like Azithromycin or Doxycycline can get started with consent of your doctor. A sebum regulating face wash, usually containing Salicylic acid will be helpful. A non-comedogenic sunscreen should be used regularly during the day. For the scar marks, you may apply Kojic acid or Azelaic acid cream at night time.
