Hi! I searched around the internet on how to get rid of sweat glands but nothing came up. Is a sweat gland supposed to be a little bump? Because that's how mine feels. The trouble is I can almost see it but not really because the fact that I'm a teenager, I can't show anyone not even my mom. I'm a little embarrassed about telling you where I have it. I have it down by my vagina. The first question is,is it normal for a sweat gland to be there? And my second question is how do I get rid of it? With any replies, Thank You!

I have pain under my right armpit that just appeared yesterday and I also noticed that it is swollen. What is this? Someone told me that it is because my sweat glands are blocked and the sweat isn't coming out and to change to a non anti-persperant deodorant. It this true and would that help?
Got a question? Got an answer? Let's hear it!
