What Causes Lumps On The Hips And Underarms?

I recently noticed bumps on my hips and under arms. I have not taken any drugs/medicines. Last night I got very ill and today I see that the rash has gotten worse, and has spread to under my breasts/top stomach. My insurance doesn t cover walk-in or emergency visits so I don t want to go if possible. Is there something I can try at home first and what is my time limit to seek help?

This is most likely a viral infection.

The lumps you describe on your hips and under your arm are mostly enlarged lymph nodes.

Viral infections are self-limiting and usually resolve within few days. However, they may result in complications.

This is unlikely to be a medical emergency, but it's advised to arrange a doctor's visit as soon as your insurance permits to receive better assessment and supportive treatment, and to avoid the development of complications.
