Are Mildly Painful Lumps In The Armpit Dangerous?
I have a small lump under my armpit. There is actually 2 but they feel like they may be connected to each other but i can feel them separately. It's only sore if i press it but its not very sore. You can't see the lump by just looking at it but you can see that it looks like there is a small bruise on top of it. Could this be serious? What could it be?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Yes, it can be serious if you ignore.
2.Suggest to get an appointment with your doctor - let him examine the area.
3.It can be carbuncle/furuncle may needs incision and drainage in cases.
4.If they are in early stage a course of antibiotic would be enough.
5. So see your doctor as soon you can get an appointment and act accordingly.
6.Your age and underlying causes may change the diagnosis accordingly.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
