So i got some swelling right under my armpits and it hurts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your PCP: A swollen armpit can be caused by a variety of conditions from mild to serious. The most common causes are allergies to the deodorant or an infection. Another cause is swollen lymph nodes- a sign that it is trying to fight off an infection. Rec.: see your pcp to determine the underlying cause and get an appropriate treatment.
