A member asked:
Reddish lump under armpit has been there for about two days; semi-firm/hurts when pressure is applied. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some possibilities: Pain in the armpit can be from the skin, the muscles, the lymph nodes, the ribs, etc... The best person to see first is the primary care doctor, who can then refer to a specialist if he is not able to diagnose and solve the problem. A lump can be a cyst, a lymph node, an infected oil gland in the skin, a skin abscess, etc... (so a doctor should examine it closely).
