Yes! For most women they outgrow this around menopause

I was in a rush when I added this. So - to enlarge on my reply, this is a condition involving sebaceous cyst blockage resulting in hard lumps underneath the skin close to sweat glands. This is my experience only and I have no qualifications except my own experience. Having suffered from these in varying degrees of severity, I believe that this condition is hereditary and therefore a genetic disorder. I recall my mother having huge cysts, an inch in diameter, inflamed and septic, mainly in her armpits and in unimaginable pain whilst my sister in law helped to manually evacuate the pit. Terrible. My own experiences have resulted in surgical procedures and have had between 20 and 30 removed over the years. Another question is do they return in the same place if removed and I can emphatically refute this. Of course in the event that it is only partially removed, perhaps by squeezing, pressing and pushing, etc then there is the possibility of a return because the procedure was incorrect/unprofessional/manual maybe out of despair, which I understand.

I'm 54 and still have it. Once you have it you have it. No cures just have to find a good dermatologist
