Have Painful Lump Under Arm, Increased Frequency. Have Fibromyalgia, Willerbrand Disease
for years I have been getting a very painful lump under my left arm. They usually go away within a few days. They have never coordinated with me being sick. Now i am getting them more frequently and at present I have one under EACH arm. They are not red, it is painful to just have my arms down. I do have Fibromyalgia and von Willebrand disease. I don't feel like either of those conditions have anything to do with these lumps.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Recurrent painful lump in armpit may be a presentation of a condition called as hidradenitis suppurativa.
You need to take oral antibiotics along with retinoids.
These are prescription drugs hence please meet a dermatologist.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
