Needs evaluation.: There are sweat glands in the axillae (armpits). They can become infected or inflamed. One could also have enlarged lymph nodes there from an infection or from cancer. Whatever the cause, it merits a careful exam by your doctor.

Approximatey 3 weeks ago I was stung on the inside of my elbow (in the bend) by what appeared to be a sweat bee. I immediately applied alcohol to the sting. It has itched in that area every day since the sting and I apply alcohol each time it itches. Yesterday a cluster of 12-15 small bumps appeared in the area of the sting. I am looking for advice on how to treat the area as it itches also. Thank you. Rash possibly related to sweat bee sting?
