so i m 15 and have this painful lump under my armpit and it hurts. i m really worried. it has gone away but has come back. it s not cancer right cause i m to young to get cancer. i have been putting a hot towel on it. i really just want it to go away is there anything i should do? please help. also i have 1 under each armpit .. the one on my right isn t big but hurts quite a bit and on my left its a little big and has like white stuff on it. that s a good sign right? i cleaned it a little and some kind of came off. i m just really worried.
First, no age is exempt from cancer. But don't worry. You don't seem to be suffering from it by your description. You probably have an infective cause for your problems, although the exact infection is difficult to say without looking. I suggest you take a course of antibiotics for a week (Tab ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily + Tab paracetamol 650 mg thrice daily + Tab Sanitizing 150 mg twice daily). If the condition improves or disappears, forget it. Else show it to a surgeon. It maybe tuberculosis if you live in an endemic area.
