What Causes A Hard Sore Lump Under The Armpit?
i am male 24 / have a lump under my armpit i noticed yesterday evening as very sore, today sore throat and slowly getting a headache. The lump is small, not red/coloured but it hurts a wee bit when i left my arm up (in the armpit). What could this be?

Hi,
This could be an inflamed lymph node related to your sore throat. Alternatively, it could be a small abscess.
I suggest that if it does not resolve in 24 hours, you see your doctor for examination. You may need antibiotics.
