I am 33, just had a baby.about 10 months back I had a lump in my right armpit. Got it checked doctor said its bacterial infection due to shaving so gave me medicines but I couldnt take it coz I got pregnant and now after delivery when I went to see the doctor she suggested ultrasound coz my lump has gone bigger and soft. I got ultrasound done but nothing clear and now I have to go to the doctor again. I had tb about 11 years back which was cured. I am worried.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Such lump usually appears due to hair follicle inflammation caused by shaving. In such case, the best treatment is not an antibiotic, but incision and pus Chat Doctor.  It is also possible that this lump is an enlarged lymph node. However, this should be visible in the ultrasound. It is also good to have breasts checked when a lump in the armpit appears. I hope you have had breasts ultrasound as well. I suggest you to consult general surgeon with this problem. Hope this will help. Regards.
