Suggest Treatment For Lump Under The Right Arm

I have a lump under my right arm. I have had the lump for 2 1/2 months. Its not causing any pain however it is getting larger. I also have been having swelling in my wrist and ankle on the same side as the lump. No pain as well there just swelling.Do the lump and swelling have any correlation, and should I be concerned about the lump?

Welcome to Health care magic.

1. The possible cause could be enlarged lymph nodes - history more consistent with the lymph nodal enlargement.
2.Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in case of localised or systemic inflammation / infection. If you are aware of any pathology treat the cause first.
3.Other wise lymph nodal pathology itself can be the cause. For which you need to get an ultrasound scan done to assess the nature of the lump and its source and extensions.
4.An FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology to evaluate the nature of cells.
5.Other symptoms seems like vascular cause - which needs doppler study that will help. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
