A member asked:

I've been getting these cyst like bumps on my inner thighs and deep in my armpits, how do you prevent more boils/cysts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exposure?: It is difficult to tell over the internet and without a picture. Bumps on your inner thighs and armpits can mean many things. Common causes may be a new soap, detergent or deodorant. If you have concerns see a doctor in person for an evaluation.
