I Get A Lump/ Bump In Armpit. I Have A History Of First Tubal Pregnancy
i am a 46 year old woman, with a history of first tubal pregnancy and kock s treatment thereafter for 9 months. Subsequently I had 2 children - a girl 17 years back and a boy 13 years back, both by c-section. 2-3 months back, I noticed a pimple like eruption in my left armpit, but it didn t have any pus or head . But it stayed and didn t go away. It was painless, but sometimes very soft to touch and sometimes hard. Now over last 2 days, it appears to have grown bigger and harder with a small hard lump under the skin , but still painless. What could it be?

This could be lymph node enlargement.
You should have selfexamination of breast, it may be due to certain condition of breast. And consult your surgeon.

it may be due to skin tag ,wart or follicular papular lesion
as it is painless no infection is there.

wear loose and cotton cloths
