A member asked:

I have a lump thats under my arm pit its hard and hurts ? what can it be

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abscess?: There are a few thoughts. First of all how long have you had this? Change in size? Well could be a collection of infection or an abscess. Could be a simple cyst. Apply some heat may help and avoid deodorants and shaving. See if the heat helps
