One of the things it could be isHidradenitis Suppurativa, a form of acne. They start out as painful bumps under the skin and can turn into very painful, what appear to be, large pimples. One theory is that they are actual sweat glands that. for whatever reason, are not draining properly. Possibly linked to hormonal changes, usually begin after puberty. From what I've read, there is no cure, and that some people opt for surgery, but the cysts may still return. Warm compresses, baths and an anti-inflammatory meds have been mentioned as remedies to alleviate the pain.

Holes what is theodore s nickname?

Theodore's nickname in Holes (both book and movie) is Armpit. Although in the movie, they make out that it is because he has bad armpit odour, it is actually because, while at Camp Green Lake Correctional Facility, he was bitten by a scorpian. He was actually bitten in the forearm, but the pain travelled up to his armpit. He started complaining about the pain in his armpit, and therefore he was nicknamed Armpit. This information was showcased in Louis Sachar's sequel to Holes: Small Steps. This story is intirely about Armpit, taking small steps to regain a usual life.
