Question: In arm pit, left side, having discomfort and instants of pain. Feels like lymph nodes in the area may have some cause of irritation.
Brief Answer:
need a clinical examination
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
If you are not sure of presence of any sewlling (or lymph nodes) in the region, then its advisible to show to a surgeon for a complete clinical examination to confirm their presence.
As at your age, swelling or lymph nodes in that region could be a sign of malignancy, and that needs to be ruled out first.
Other possibility is of infection, but only clinical evaluation will be able to differentiate between the two.
Hope i have been helpful.
