Suggest Treatment For Nerve Boil Under Arms

I have pain under my arms which is more like a boil. It was small for more than a year beneath the skin and now it has bulged to an inch. I am told it is a nerve boil which tends to someday rupture. Is there any medicine I can take or is getting operated is the best solution?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be an enlarged lymph node. Any swelling in the body must be explored & sent for histological examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
