Hello doctor, Is my armpit lump something serious? Slightly red lump under left armpit. Appeared approximately two weeks ago, slowly went away and almost disappeared, now it came back again. Only a tiny amount of pain when pressing. Feels a bit like a small hard pea. No fever, no weightloss, but slightly tired at times. I have added pictures.
Hi. I have read your query carefully, I have seen pictures also (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I just want to tell you that you need not worry about that lump. The lump may be a sebaceous cyst, which is very common and sometimes disappeared automatically. If it appears again then you can contact me. I will examine that and if it pains and burns in armpit then take these following medicines: 1. Tablet Ibuprofen 400 mg if only there is a pain. 2. Tablet Amoxyclav 625 mg once daily for three days. Please tell me one more thing if this lump is movable or not, I mean it is fixed or can be repositioned.
