What Are Recurring Pain And Swelling In Armpits Suggestive Of?

Yes I have been having a problem with pain in my armpits. In the past I could discontinue use of my deodorant for a few days and I would be fine. About two weeks ago I developed the pain again. This time with a little swelling under the left armpit and a lot of swelling under the right. In the right arm pit the lymph nodes were clearly enlarged and red in color. I discontinued my deodorant and the left armpit cleared up. The right has had lost some swelling but the lymph nodes are still enlarged and sore. I plan to call my doctor first thing Monday morning. Any ideas what could be causing this?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a reactive lymph node.

I suggest to stop using the deodorant which may be the causes of the reaction.

I recommend to use Benadryl daily.

I also suggest using steroid cream for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
