Lumps in the armpit!

I have aquired some lumps in my armpit that start out looking like pimples then get huge and painful when I raise my arms.  I used Baby powder with baking soda and starch and it went away after two weeks.  I started using my deoderant again and now they are back?
I use speed stick anti persperant and I think that may be the problem or nutrition?

Sounds like an allergy to the ingredients in the deodorant, I am glad you have stopped it.

Thanks for the comments!
They are not ingrown hairs!
Today they are back and multiple ones in the left armpit like pimples and a big one in the right armpit.
I have stopped the under arm and went back to the baby powder with corn starch and baking soda!
I do take some supplements like Organic Apple Cider, Liquid Vitamins, Fish oil, and potassium chelate capsules.
If these are cysts then why do they keep shrinking and growing again?
FYI It started about 3 months ago never before!

Once again thanks!
Keep in touch!

Sounds like an allergic reaction to this particular deodorant.  It does not sound like a nutrition problem to me.

Sounds like you are allergic to the deodorant you are using. Have you tried something totally different. But if you have then you really should see a doctor to make sure that you are not producing a Bactria of some kind. Hope all works out with a new brand... Let me know how you are doing..

Are they ingrown hairs? I get those sometimes and they are painful and big bumps.
