Suggest Remedies For Recurrent Painful Lump In The Armpit
my 13 yr old daughter has a lump in her armpit. It seems to be the size of a fingerprint and she says it hurts. I am not interested in going to my pediatrician. What type of doctor can I take her to. She says this has come and gone before a few times. But this is the first I've heard of it.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.If you are not happy to see paediatrician then most suitable doctor will be surgeon.
2.It seems like infective aetiology (bacterial).
3.Generally depending upon the size the treatment depends upon - starts from antibiotic treatment to incision and drainage.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
