Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Dark And Painful Bump Under The Left Armpit?
I have a purple/red bump under my left armpit. It s not painful at all and it s similar to a pimple. I searched up symptoms and i don t have swollen lymph nodes or anything like that. I m just worried about how dark and purple it looks and i don t really know how to get rid of it.
In most cases, this is just a swollen lymph node which doesn't require any specific treatment. Also, considering your description this may be some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibroma or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. Then there are doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
