Suggest Remedy For Lumps On Armpit

Howdy,I have got a lump under my right armpit that is swollen and red. I have had it for about a week now and at the start skin flaked off of it. It now appears inflamed. The lump itself does not continue far underneath the skin and is really just a surface issue. Prior to that, my lymph node had been slightly swollen. My left arm pit is now beginning to become very stiff whenever I try to raise my left arm.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have enlarged axillary lymphnode. It may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. Or you may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma. You should go for ultrasound study. If needed go for biopsy or FNAC. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
