I have a pretty big white zit under my armpit

I'm a 29 year old male an I have a pretty big white zit under my armpit. It hurts a lot and has been there for about a day and it looks like I could pop it. Should I? Or does that even sound like a normal zit? What should I do?

i dont think you should worry about that too much. it will go away in time. pop it if you want..but things like that eventually dissapear your body has a natural way of healing it.

yeah it's probably just an infection. since bacteria love warm moist areas. but i'm pretty sure it will go away evntually.:) i think popping it will help it heal faster.

Well actually all week I've been waking up with new ones in my armpit. They're all big and painful. I think a few of them connected so now there's a huge bump in my armpit

The doctors think it's a staff infection. I'm waiting to hear back for sure. I don't even know how you get a staff infection or even what it is.
