What Could Swollen Neck Glands With Lumps On Armpit Suggest?

Hi,A few weeks ago I had very bad swollen glands in my neck which I was put on antibiotics for but, now a lump as appeared under my armpit. It started off very itchy and is under the skin, it is quite hard too and has become very sore, I think from the scratching. I am worried because I have read a lump under the armpit and swollen glands could be a sign of cancer? Could you advise me please?

it is definitely an infective pathology and could be acute inflammation of the lymph nodes, tuberculosis, fungus, bacteria, sebaceous cyst or even infection of skin sweat glands....

just have an FNAC test for confirmation
