Suggest Treatment For Painful Bumps In The Armpit
I just found a bump about the size of a quarter in the anticubital area of my right arm. It appears to be in my vein just above the bend line about where blood would be drawn. When I raise my arm above my head, the bump goes away. When I lower my arm to my side, the bump returns. Could this be a weak spot in my vein which is bulging when my blood pressure and blood flow rises? Klark
