What Is The Underarm Lump?

I am 24 year old female with no major illness history.
Hi I have had an underarm lump about 6 months ago. Got it checked and doc gave me antibiotics and the lump came down, however today I noticed its not only larger but more painful and I can feel a 2-3 inches long mass.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having enlarged, tender axillary lymph nodes giving rise this problem.
It indicates that there might be having some infection in surrounding area like arms, axilla, breasts, neck.
Consult your doctor and get examined lump and any infective foci surrounding.
After proper examination, plan of treatment can be decided.
Ok and take care.
