i am a 26 yr old, and noticed a lump in my armpit the size of a pea some days ago, it doesnt look red in colour but is swollen, a little painful and been of the same size since. also i have pain from my armpit to my elbow esp around the inside of my elbow. my lower arm is tender to touch. everytime i raise my arm to my side i see somthing like a taut tendon and i cant raise my arm any further due to pain. wht do u think it is?
Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query from you to my Chat Doctor Clinic. I have gone through your query and appreciate your concerns of it. After in-depth study on it, In My opinion-the armpit-lump mostly is due to the lymphadenitis with lymphangitis, Which may be Lyme disease. Do the antibody test and biopsy to rule out the lymes' disease. It could simply be chronic-staph infection with fur uncle in armpit. Treatment-Before start of the treatment confirmation of the causative infection would be essential.-Antibiotics / Tb NSAIDs, /Rest and Elevation of the arm. Special Chat Doctor. Consult the physician and take the treatment on above lines Hope this would resolve your worrisome query for now. Wellcome-to my Chat Doctor Clinic for any more query.
