A member asked:

I have a large hard lump in my armpit that is very painful to touch and it seems to be getting bigger but no head or puncture mark, i dont see any hair there either, could this be an infected hair under my skin? the pain is excruciating. please help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abcess: Large painful lumps in the armpit that occurs suddenly and are very painful are usually an abscess and infection under the skin. This requires in person examination with a physician for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Treatments can involve anabiotic‘s or incision and drainage with a scalpel or both .
