Hi, Ive just found a red hard sore lump under my armpit. I currently have the flu and Im also waiting to go on dialysis but not there just yet. My last kidney level was 11%. Im also a diabetic on insulin. Im worried about the lump. Its very tender to the touch and feels hard and slightly red. Ive tried to see if it moves and I can wiggle it around but not move completely. Hope you understand what I mean. What do you suggest. thank you Shona
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Most probably you have axillary lymph node enlargement due to some reactive hyperplasia.  You should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy.  It can be tuberculosis or lymphoma or other lesion. Consult your doctor take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
