What Causes Painful And Swollen Lymph Node In The Armpit?

For about 9 months or so,I have had slightly swollen lymph node in my right armpit...and it continues to slightly swell a little more and it's getting painful to even put deodorant on.for about the same amount of time,I keep having recurring itchy small sores on the top of my scalp. Not sure if I'm allergic to shampoo or if these 2 things are related?

Hello,
I do not think that your scalp problem is related to lymph node enlargement in axilla. It seems that you are having any infection in your breast part that is causing such lymph node enlargement. I would suggest you to get needle examination of the lymphnode.(FNAC) it will confirm the diagnosis. Scalp problem is more likely due to some allergy and you need to discuss that with your skin specialist.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
