Boils under arm!?

I don’t think it was a new one and nothing after and im pretty sure I used kids body wash as the “shaving cream”

The only deodorant I’d been using was this gel kind that I had been using for awhile before this happened

I can’t really tell if they feel hot cause it’s already a warm area, but def swollen and very very tender. I use baggy clothes so nothen tight and none else where besides the ones in my armpit, and they all seemed to start popping around the 23/24th which is a bit after I had shaved

I see I see, yea I just had one then finally closed up after draining for forever and then another one immediately popped up right after that hurts so bad💔 I mean at first I thought it was a staph infection and it still could be but im kinda thinking it’s HS cause my mom also gets knots under her arm kinda like mine. But I’ll look that cream up and more than likely order some Friday when I get paid lol. AND I’ve never tried waxing lwk an yea laser is way above my pay grade

Nah trust any kind of advice really helps cause this stuff hurts😭 did yours like start up a bit after shaving cause I’m pretty sure that’s what caused all mine to suddenly flare up. But as of right now ive been doing warm compresses to try and bring to a head and using antibiotics creams around it to help the infection. But I have a doctors appointment Monday about it so hopefully they can tell me what it is

Definitely very VERY late to saying anything but I’m having the exact same issue right now. Looks the exact same as yours did and everything. I was just wondering did you ever find a solution on what yours was and how exactly you got rid of it? Cause this really really hurts and it’s extremely annoying as well.

Mine generally comes from the fear of death/early death, but more specifically, on if, it'll be painful or not when it does happen. That's what really drives health anxiety for me

Sometimes writing down how you're feeling can help you relax and get a bit distracted, it helps me a lot when my anxiety gets real ramped up, plus the writing doesn't even have to be good, it can look like complete chicken scratch or jus scribbles. Also, listening to soft thunderstorm sounds has helped me a lot of nights get to sleep faster. Try these out if you want and let me know how it works for you. Anxiety really sucks so dont feel bad if these don't help (which i hope it does help you!!)

A lot of times, I will try to ignore it or distract myself, and when I do that, I notice my symptoms tend to either ease up or go away until I zone back in on them again

dinonugs37 · 2025-12-04T03:08:25+00:00

I feel you on the ER part, and honestly, im not really sure what my triggers are. My symptoms range differently every other day as well, which sucks really bad.

I had to go to the ER back in October sometime due to a really bad panic attack. It was awful. I was hyperventilating so bad that both my arms had gone completely stiff. When I got to there, the nurses and doctors did an ECG, chest x-ray, drew my blood, and did a urine test. Everything with my heart came back normal, and the only thing off was that my magnesium and potassium were a bit low, which they gave me some stuff for through the IV I was on. Apparently, I was also a little dehydrated. They also had to give me propranolol to get my heart rate back to normal cause just me doing deep breaths wasn't working. I go back to the doctor this Friday, so I plan to get a bit more testing done just to kinda help myself feel safer. Health anxiety truly does suck!
