bumps and prevention

[georgapp]

i have been having tiny bumps under my right ampit every 3 months or more since last year.my ampit appears darker and the bumps are not that painful.when they come i sometimes use antibiotics(amoxacillin) and they disappear and sometimes i dont use any medicine at all but they disappear within 2 weeks.this bumps always appear at the same place,under my rigt ampit.what could be the cause?

Not sure, but nothing serious.  There are lymph glands that live normally under the arms.  If you squeeze them, please don't.  You might consider asking your question to the doctor who examined you and prescribed the antibiotics.

How do u get antibiotics from a pharmacist without being seen by a doctor for the rx? Just out of curiosity. :-)

one more thing,i have never been examined by a doctor on these bumps.the antiboitics i took was given to me by a pharmacist

Thank Dr for your information.i am currently not in my home country.I am visiting my wife who is on diplomatic posting in a french country and dur to the language barrier i have not been a ble visit the hospital yet.these ampits bumps came back 3 days ago.could the cause be the change of deodorants or otherwise.it makes me feel uncomfortable though it does not hurt.
Why does it always appear at the same place?
