Suggest Treatment For Painful Lumps In Under Arm

I have these bumps under my arms. They itch like crazy. They are red and go around my armpit like around the hair under my armpit. They aren't in patches but there are a lot of them. They have been spreading since I got them about 2 days ago. They first started on my arm, like on the upper part toward my shoulder but underneath it. Then they got around my armpits like just a few. And then when I woke up this morning it was all the way down toward my breast (Im a guy though) if that means anything. And also I would like to include that I have posion oak on my legs but just got off my medication exactly a week from today

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have enlarged axillary lymphnode.
It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
