A member asked:
Is huge lump under armpit a sebaceous cyst?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Check with your dr: If truly a sebaceous cyst, it will follow a vicious cycle of filling with sebum, becoming infected, draining, then starting over. If infected now, may require incision and drainage by doctor. Once healed, have sac removed to prevent recurrence.
