Suggest Treatment For Lump Under Both Arms
My daughter has a lump under both of her arms one is bigger than the other and only one hurts she says she snuck and put on my sister in laws deoderant while at her house and she tried to wash it to soothe and it and it burned. Im not sure what is wrong? and is there anything we can do to make it better? or should we go to the ER. This happened today.

Welcome to health care magic.
1.The history and localisation of the lumps / lesions suggest most possible cause could be hair follicle infection with collection within, and next possible cause is allergic reaction due to the duo - but they could be small and superficial.
2.Other possible cause could be lymph nodal enlargement - which is seen after any infection / inflammation it can be localised or systemic.
3.Mean while as a remedy - do not squeeze, press,scratch the lesions / lumps ( as it will only complicate the area), do not shave or apply any after shave liquids - which can be local irritants dealt healing, use trimmer instead for hair removal until complete healing.
4.Maintain local hygiene clean the area with antiseptic liquid, use soft clothing which touches that area.
5.Get a general appointment and get examined and treated, as in infective cases a course of antibiotics will be needed. Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
