A member asked:

What does it mean if both armpits are swollen, and swore with little red bumps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Folliculitis: That's a folliculitis, an infection of the hair follicles caused by bacteria or yeast (or a combination). Topical antibiotics never work on these, in my experience; you're going to need an oral antibiotic, which your doctor or a dermatologist can prescribe for you.
