Doubt lymphoma: Enlarged lymph nodes from lymphoma are not painful or red. Maybe an inflamed node from an infection in your hand or arm; or a bacterial skin infection; or maybe a chronic condition called hidradenitis suppurativa. HA is more likely if this is a longstanding problem with on and off symptoms, including drainage. See your doctor and take it from there, but no worries about lymphoma. Good luck!

Lymphoma can occur..: ..at any age, but is more common in older people. Lymphoma does not usually cause visible red, painful lumps in the skin. It is usually painless and causes swellings in lymph nodes under the skin or much deeper. Red lumps in the armpits can be due to shaving and ingrown hairs, or furuncles which are like pimples or acne lesions.
