What Is The Big Lump Underarm?

Hi, I have a medium sized lump underneath my armpit. When I touch it there is a bigger lump,like a ball underneath the skin. The lump is raised and the skin is thinner on the lump . It's really sore and I was wondering what it was?. I am 5'9 and I weigh 230 pounds, I've had these before..but smaller and less painful.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have enlarged lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. Or it can be due to some soft tissue tumour. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
