Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a lump under my armpit, went to a doctor and he removed it and gave me antibiotic s, when changed the bandage for the second time i felt there is one more smaller lump above the one extracted, should i go back to check or give it time as it might disappear ?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It's most probably lipoma which is a common swelling of fat tissue.Unless it's causing you discomfort you don't have to worry about it. If it's causing pain then you can see a surgeon who will remove.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
