Swelling to be confirmed by USG, FNAC/Biopsy ASAP

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of:
Swollen lymph nodes under the armpits,
severe loss of body hair in pretty short period,
loss of appetite.

First of all to confirm about swelling in arm pits, ultrasonography (USG) and FNAC and if needed biopsy should be performed. I recommend these to all my patients with armpit swelling. This will confirm the nature of the disease you might be suffering. Should be done as soon as possible (ASAP)

FNAC/Biopsy report then can be correlated to the other symptoms.

Do you have any other symptoms like fever, loss of weight and body ache or weakness?

I hope this answer helps you to get an early and proper diagnosis and hence the proper treatment.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

Abdominal pains in the small intestine. According to the reflexology charts. That's where my left foot hurts, and also front of both feet in the area of the thymus or thyroid. Appitite is up and down and might gain weight for a few days then not want to eat. Dry, itchy skin and sweating quiet a bit. Get agitated easily. And can't sleep. What now.
