Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump Under The Arm
I noticed a growth under my arm last week. The lumb was associated with pain around the area, it started to get bigger, then it reduced and maintained the current size of a walnut in size and one just started to appear on my left foreare which is now peacan sized.

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Most likely you have an abscess in your armpit. This can be caused by shaving this area. Due to an infection pus accumulates and causes hard and painful lump.
Such lump should be incised and pus drained. Otherwise it will be healing slowly giving pain and fever.
Please consult a general surgeon with this issue.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
