Sore Lump In Armpit Under Skin. Anything To Heal These Sores Quickly ?
I am male 47 yrs. Old. I have a very sore lump in my armpit under skin. Had one before in same area 2-3 Weeks ago but was more of a pimple type-it could be drained and went away. This time, I got it again (it popped up in a different place in armpit very quickly (within a couple days). It is now very sore, firmer than before and deeper under skin. I also have had for the last 3 Weeks sores on my arm that dont go away easily , and even seem to spread starting out as a pimple looking bump if I press it, it has been turning into a sore that takes a while to heal? I don t know if the two are related?

Hi, Thanks for query.
It seems that due to some infection in your arm causing enlarge lymph node in the armpit,called lymphadenitis.
Go for an antibiotic course which will help for infection in arm and lymph nodes.
Ok and bye.
