What Could Swollen Lymph Nodes And Bumps On The Arm Suggest?

Hi, I have been experiencing random red bumps on my arms and one on my leg. They itch and get red. It does not appear to be bites. They appeared at different times in the span of two weeks. Now a lymph node under my right arm seems to be swollen and tender. Im getting concerned.

Welcome at HCM...
I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns...
Lymph node enlargement mostly occur as a reactive process to infection of part of body which are being drained by corresponding nodes... However there are other causes of lymph node enlargement too..
Have you got any boil or infection in your arm?? Are these lymph node enlarged in armpit just one or multiple??! Any history of fever or weight loss?? Any family history???
In my opinion you should consult your doctor so that you have been examined properly to rule out the actual cause ....
Stay safe and get well soon
Regards
