What type of surgeon specializes in armpit lumps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go toGeneral Surgeon: A General Surgeon. The surgeon will examine you, if necessary will order some tests or images and from there he/she will decide the final treatment. Lumps in the armpits could be off no problem like a small cyst, But could be reflecting much bigger problems that are going inside your body Because it is the location of a large chain of lymph nodes. It is important that you see the doctor.
