A member asked:

My mom has armpit discomfort, she went to doc, she checked her breasts and armpit & felt nothing. what do you think it could be ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: It could be many things. For example, a painful lymph-node, an ingrown hair, an allergic reaction, muscle pain, Breast pain all cause pain in this area. I would make sure she is up-to-date on her mammograms. Its good that you care for her. Best wishes!
