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?

What Are Recurring Pain And Swelling In Armpits Suggestive Of?
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! Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
