I have big red bumps under my Armpit.

I have big red bumps under my Armpit.  It started out as a rash, and then a few big bumps formed on my arm.  Then weeks later they have doubled.  They get red when I sweat or when water hits them.  Now it's to the point to where It hurts to lift up my arms and it feels like boiling water hitting them when I take a shower.  I'm only 15 years old.  Please help me?

Sometimes the rash and lumps are caused by deodorants and anti-perspirants. i can't use either. But I can shave my underarms.

I get a similar problem. It started when it first began shaving my underarms and firstly appeared a sore red rash and am now left with little red lumps and occasionally white heads. I can't stop shaving as i do a lot of dancing and it would be considered repulsive if I were to leave them and stay o natural!
This is no help to you sorry but I want to seekf anyone can help me also.
