What Causes Bump In Armpit?
46 years old mother of 2, mamogram in Jun says normal. Basically healthy. Last night I noticed a painless bump in the right armpit. Squeezed and then white, cheese like, smelly discharge came out. It seems to be fine now. The armpit doesn't smell much unless rub the fingers on it. Do I still need to see a doctor? I have a high deductible insurance, i.e. pretty much everything come out my from pocket. Thanks.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lump in armpit with white material. You may have sebaceous cyst or enlarged lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia or tuberculosis. Yousshould go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
