How do i treat a lump in the armpit.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let a Doctor see.: You should not treat a lump in your arm pit by yourself. Usually its a boil, but it could also be an enlarged lymph node , caused by infection or cancer. Do not shave your arm pit, keep clean and dry and see your doctor soon.
