What doctor i should see for a painful cyst under my armpit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyst.: For a painful cyst under your armpit, try seeing your primary care doctor first. You may need an antibiotic. Your PCP may even be able to drain it for you if necessary. If you have recurrent painful swollen cysts, you may need to see a general surgeon to have them removed.
