Need Treatment For Red Sore Lump Under The Armpit

Hi, Ive just found a red hard sore lump under my armpit. I currently have the flu and Im also waiting to go on dialysis but not there just yet. My last kidney level was 11%. Im also a diabetic on insulin. Im worried about the lump. Its very tender to the touch and feels hard and slightly red. Ive tried to see if it moves and I can wiggle it around but not move completely. Hope you understand what I mean. What do you suggest. thank you Shona

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Most probably you have axillary lymphnode enlargement due to some reactive hyperplasia. Yu should take a course of antibiotics.
If it doesn't respond to treatment then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. It can be tuberculosis or lymphoma or other lesion.

Consult your doctor take treatment accordingly.
