Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i noticed a sore lump under my armpit a few days ago but there was nothing to see- today i have bruising large bruises at the back of my upper arm and coming down the front of my forearm - they are very tender. I have had no injuries, I have not been doing anything exciting that would cause injury. I had a remicade infusion 2 weeks ago.
It could be either a Lymph node or a localized fat collection (Lipoma). Both are harmless condition and doesn't need to be taken out. A lymph node will reduce in size by itself overtime but a lipoma will not reduce in size but may grow. Also, if it is a lymph node there will be some other cause of its enlargement which need to be found.
Hence, it is necessary to know what it is exactly. In that regard I advice you to get FNAC test of the swelling and revert back with reports.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
