What Causes A Knot Under The Arm?

I am a 36 year old male, 5'9" around 185 lbs. I have developed a knot under my arm and now have a red rash going down both arms and on my back. I've been under alot of stress with work lately and I have a past drinking problem, and have recently been drinking some on the weekends.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a reactive lymph node.
It can be due to an infection in the system which is also causing the rush.
I suggest to do a complete that count for further evaluation Meanwhile,I recommend using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain in case of pain.

Hope my answer was helpful.

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

Kind regards!
