armpits

I have had this white bumpy non-itchy rash develop in my armpits about 6 months ago. My G.P. said it was from shaving and not an infection. My older sister also went to her G.P. with the same condition and he/she said it was hormones. Was hoping to get your opinion/advice. Thank-you.

Tough to say, Michele. I can't imagine they're anything other than cysts or blocked pores, but for definitive diagnosis, you may want to see a dermatologist. If they get worse or appear after ahving, you may want to consider waxing or more permanent forms of hair removal, such as laser.
