Suggest Treatment For A Swollen Lump On The Armpit
Yesterday morning I woke up with a very sore lump in my left armpit. There is a pea size or smaller lump under the skin that is sore and underneath a sort of swollen puffy sack. I started my period yesterday. I m very concerned. I am a healthy 24 year old.
inflammatory changes or lymphadenopathies are common if you have a recent infection. if it is in your armpit tho, it could be hidradenitis suppurativa. this lesion usually comes from a folliculitis following plucking or shaving of your underarms.
it is best if you consult with a physician and have a physical examination done. if drainage is needed, you'll be referred to a general surgeon for excision and drainage. antibiotic treatment will be prescribed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
