Any Suggestion For Painful Swelling Under Armpit?
Hi
My husband has swelling under his armpit (right to be precise), which is a little painful and uncomfortable.
This comes and goes and the last incidence of this was approx. 7 months ago.The previous time it was in his left armpit.
It is sensitive but has reduced in size over the last few days. Please advise.
