Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Treatment of the armpit lump-In my opinion the lump under the armpit is not resolving as its with perifolliculitis with boil and is unripe with only pointing head,rest is hard painful lump.
At this stage you should consult ER Surgeon and treat it with anti-inflammatory and antibiotics and hot fomentation which would reduce it fast and would vanish in 5 days time.
If it grows still ER surgeon would treat it by Surgical Drainage and excision.please avoid poking that lump.
Consult your ER Surgeon if need be , who would treat it accordingly.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
