What causes painful lumps in armpit?
Patient: A week ago I discovered multiple very painful lumps under my left armpit. They do not seem to move. Since I read that some can be caused by an infection, I started taking an antibiotic. I have been taking it regularly for a week now. I do not have any symptoms of Mono or any other illness. The lumps have gone down slightly, but are still painful and seem to throb inwardly. Any thoughts?? Causes? Doctor: not to worry much as this is benign condition like infected sebaceous cyst or skin adnexal abscesses! however, could be lymph nodes also!if really worries you can go for an FNAC test for confirmationall the best!
