A member asked:

I am experiencing lump in armpit. it is red and painful. it was larger but it has shrunk with warm compress. it hurts when i raise my arm up. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Armpit lump: not cancer if it goes down / decreases with size - probably small abscess / infection- go to Urgent Care or PCP quickly to get antibiotics and possible I & D (small surgery to cut open surface and drain pus) - keep doing warm packs
