Painful lumps in underarms

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

Hi, I am experiencing lumps in my underarm area. 2-3 lumps form in that area, grow in size, then rupture with excreting pus and blood. It happens again and again. For the first time, I experienced this around 4-5 years ago. That time, it was treated with some antibacterial medication. But this time, I am experiencing this thing continuously for around 5-6 months now. Once they rupture, new lumps are formed and the whole process just goes on. Please please please advise me what to do. It posses really so difficulty for me.
