What Causes A Small Lump In My Armpit That Subsides On Its Own?
Hi, I have a small lump in my armpit that appears every month and then recedes without any pain. Recently, I started doing IPL hair removal on my underarm and there happened to be a lump before I started treatment. I went ahead with the treatment anyway. Would this affect the lump?

Hi
Looking at your history it seems to be a case of axillary lymphedenitis
please visit your doctor for FNAC fine needle aspiration cytology and further tests
in my opinion it would be alright after a course of antibiotic under supervision of your doctor
Maintain good hygiene by keeping armpit clean and moist
Hope this helps you
thanks
Have a nice day
