What Could Painful Lumps On Underarm Indicate?
I recently had my underarms lasered. A few days after I have pain and lumps under the skin of my underarms. I have never experienced this before and have been getting lasered for the last yr. Could this be related or something completely different. They are quite painful lumps. Any clues as to what they could be?

Hello,
What deodorant products are you using? It might be a case of folliculitis which developed into beginning underarm cellulitis or abscess known as hidradenitis suppurativa. Have a consultation with a general surgeon to know if drainage needed and also for antibiotic treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Katherine Panganiban
