It could be the extra weight you have gained. If they are irritated it could be from shaving and or your underarm deodorant.

The most likely culprit is that it's a sebaceous cyst (which are more common in hairier areas, like your armpit). If it doesn't go away within a week or two, I would go see your doctor who can determine if, in fact, it is just a sebaceous cyst. You can try hot compresses to the armpit (as hot as you can stand it) for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off and repeat until it comes to a head and breaks open on its own.Do NOT squeeze it, that can release the contents of the cyst into your bloodstream which can potentially cause very serious systemic infection.

If it is just a cyst and it will not go away with home treatment, it might be best to have it lanced and drained by your doctor. Even if it's just a cyst and un"popped", it can get infected - infection is just not a good thing anywhere in the body! Take care,Alissa, RN org/wiki/Sebaceous_cyst.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
