You may be suffering from fungal infection under your arms. The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams and self treatment with cheaper medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Kindly send photos using private chat for accurate diagnosis and treatment. If this is fungal infection, it needs to be treated as early as possible as it will spread further on your body and also to other people in the household.

Greetings. You are probably suffering from a condition called hidradenitis suppuritava which leads to longstanging discharging bumps in arm pits sometimes groins too. Please consult a qualified dermatologist in your vicinity. Meanwhile maintain good hygiene. Good luck.
