What Causes Sore Lump Under Left Armpit?

I just found a lump yesterday under my left armpit. I noticed it because this spot was very sore to the touch. I have had pains in my chest lately and have been taking a vitamin B12 injection that has a fat burner Lipovite. I thought I was having a heart attack last week and the cardiologist said it was pleurosy. I am worried about this lump. I am 42 and about three months ago I did have to treat some lumps in the pubic area with antibiotics. I have a couple of fatty tumors also on my left leg.

Hi,
This is most likely to be an abscess. I suggest you see your doctor for some antibiotics. In view of you having had other lumps treated with antibiotics, I suggest you should have your blood sugar checked to check for diabetes.
Regards,
