What Causes Sore Swollen Vein In Armpit?

I ve had a swollen vein that pops out in my armpit for about a month now. It s sore to the touch, and is irritated when I stretch my arm. I ve tried taking Advil after getting my family physician to check it, but it hasn t gone away and there s a lump in it which hurts to touch. Any help with the possible cause would be appreciated!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Thrombophlebitis giving this problem.
Apply Thrombophob cream locally.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
Take some anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen for 2-3 days as well.
Ok and take care.
