Hello,

The swelling on the side of face and armpit is seen due to blockage of lymph drainage in the area. This has been confirmed by CT scan. It is best to get an FNAC done for confirmation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
