What Causes Lumps In The Armpit And Groin Area?

My duaghter has a number of lumps in her armpit, beside her nipple and in her groin. They were not visible until yesterday when we realised we could see the groin one. We have a hospital appointment in two weeks, do I need to see a doctor before then?

Hi, thanks for sharing your daughter's health concerns with HCM!
I were her treating Doctor for this case of multiple body lumps, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     lymph nodes due to viral infections, some chronic disorder like tuberculosis, lymphoma, leukemia or chronic throat / neck infection or even malignant diseases in elderly people!

2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!
     
3.     The last possibility is of infection of hair follicles or some skin pathology!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and CT scan of the region for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing her good health.
