A member asked:
Another sore lymph node in r armpit. all lab work came back normal, and was on an antibiotic for 7days. what else could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antiperspirants: Lymph nodes generally are not tender or painful. Infections are the most common cause of swollen lymph nodes. If the medical cause or pathology is ruled out another possibility is shaving or use of antiperspirants.
