What Could Be The Reason For Having Sore, Lump Under Armpit?
I had a lump under my armpit and it was sore. I thought because of shaving infection . It started out with a lump about half cm which disappeared after 2 weeks, now i am left with this violin string. What the problem. I did not have any injury etc.

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems to be bacterial infection of the hair follicle/furuncle. I would advice that you get a prescription for an antibiotic (penicillin group) from your local physician.
A topical antibacterial ointment e.g 2% mupirocin twice daily can be used topically.
You may take an OTC pain killer twice or thrice daily for the discomfort associated with it.
take care
regards
