A member asked:
Dime sized lump under left armpit. bleeding occures if pressure or pulling on the skin near the lump happens. this has been persistant for roughly 7 months. seems to be growing in size as time passes. any suggestions as to what this may be?

This is a location of apocrine glands and lymph nodes. Either could be involved with a localized inflammatory process/infection. Moist heat applied to the area can improve localized blood flow and improve chances of self healing. Occasionally these will require antibiotics or surgical drainage.
