A member asked:
I have a swollen lymph node in my armpit (doctor confirmed that is what it is). i want to get laser hair removal in armpits. is that ok?

No: First things first. If there is a palpable node in axilla that does not represent hidradenitis then origin of node if first needed. One can have a metastatic tumor from arm or chest wall, a lymphoma or inflammatory node from shaving. Once Ca ruled out, one can use laser hair removal
