What causes tender lump in right hand side armpit?
Patient: I am an 18 year old male. 6ft tall and mixed race. I have recently, within the past week found a small but tender lump in my right hand side arm pit. I wondered if you could relate whether this was due to somekind of hormonal catalyst. Or something more concerning? Should I be contacting my GP? Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.Of course , contact the GP. Simple test::: you can do yourself.IF the lump is moving freely along with the skin, this is boil or a small sebaceous cyst. IF it is deep seated and not attached to the skin- this is more likely to be a lymph node. Either of the lumps may need a treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. So visit a GP.
