A member asked:
What is the cause of growth lumps in the armpit? and is it normal to have them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thoughts...: Most common causes of lumps in the armpit in someone otherwise healthy are little infected cysts or abscesses. Armpit lymph nodes can also be enlarged because of systemic infection or malignancy (uncommon).
