Suggest treatment for a itchy lump on the armpit
Patient: I have a growth in my armpit. Ive had it for a year but the past couple of months its grown to about an inch and a half in diameter. It has small veins in it and it was painless until this morning. This morning I got up and noticed it had a head like a pimple on it and I barely touched it and brownish discharge kept coming out, no odor but the discharge is gritty like wet sand. And now its pAinful. Feels like I have needles all in my armpit Doctor: This is hidradenitis suppurativa, infection of sweat glands in the arm pit. Show it to a general surgeon, he will clean it and take a sample for culture and sensitivity and will prescribe antibiotics accordingly.
