What Causes Pain In The Underarms When I Move My Arm?

Hello, my armpit felt like I had a small cut on it but when I checked there was nothing there no cuts or lumps, and there was no pain yesterday, it hurts when I move my arm (it only hurts on my left armpit) when I touch it, it doesn t hurt it. it has only been a couple of hours but it still hasn t gone away. I also know that I didn t mess with my armpit the day before, there is also no redness on my armpit.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having muscular pain or soft tissue inflammation.
My treatment advice -
1. Apply ice on the affected part twice daily.
2. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain for 7-10 days.
3. Other treatment options are oral tramadol and topical diclocenac given only after consulting a dermatologist.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist or physician.

Thanks.
