What Causes A Painful Lump Under The Armpit?
I'm a 52 year old woman. Have had a painful swollen gland under one armpit for about three weeks. I did have a Herpes cold sore on my lip for the past 4 days which is starting to go away - could that be the cause of the swollen armpit gland? (I feel fine otherwise) Thank you!

Hi,
It seems that due to having infection on lip might give rise enlarged tender axillary lymph nodes giving this problem.
Nothing to worry, with curing of infection on lip this will go away.
Ok and take care.
