Swollen vein underneath my armpit is bothering me. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs evaluation.: It is not normal to have a swollen vein under your armpit(axilla). It could be nothing more than enlargement due to inflammation but it can also be a sign of something more significant. You need to be evaluated by vein specialist or vascular surgeon and you may need a venous ultrasound.
