Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In Armpit Caused By A Lesion

Posted on Sat, 6 Feb 2016

Question: I have recently developed a red lesion about four inches below my right arm pit and there is an itch that sometimes is bothersome and other times it is just there . Also I did a self examination and noticed a swelling from the lesion upwards to the inner part of my arm and shoulder . It is not affecting the motion of the arm but is noticeable when looking at it in the mirror and when I do a self palpating of the area . Would this be one of the early signs of lymphoma ?
Thanks for whatever information you can provide .
