Hi I have a hard vein or something sticking out a bit all along/ in my right armpit, it feels almost numb and sore at the same time and I didn t notice it until I took a shower tonight. It is scaring me as I have never had it before. Do I need to see a doctor? I fear of blood clots or stroke or something.
This is not likely to be a \"vein\" but either a lymph node or more likely a small abscessed sweat gland...consider it almost like acne gone to the armpit instead of the face.  I recommend seeing your physician who will be able to rapidly make a diagnosis and tell you what the next step needs to be...no stroke will happen from a lump in the armpit nor blood clot.  Please rate this encounter with a 5 STAR choice and if you have further questions please contact me at
