I have had swelling under my armpit in a lump that is sometime the size of a almond up to a ping-pong balls size. It started about 4 weeks ago, it was just in one side and my Dr said it was a swollen lymph gland and gave me antibiotics. It slowly went away. I happened again 2 weeks later, same armpit slightly higher. Then 2 days ago I noticed a swollen lump in my labia majora. I went to the Dr who sent me to Emergancy. The GYN said it was not a bartholin cyst but just a cyst of the labia and as it was not to a head it could not be drained yet . It is so painful and they gave me pain meds, antibiotics and anti-inflammitory tabs. Today a new lump under the other armpit? Are they connected? Is it possible the lumps under my arm are cysts and not lymph glands? Is there something I can do? Is there something I should be worried about? Is there tests I can ask my Dr to do to rule out anything serious?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have enlarged axillary lymph node.  It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should 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.
