What Do Pain And Burning Sensation In The Armpits Indicate?

I have a throbbing and burning sensation in my armpits. I have had a double mastectomy due to being BRCA2 positive. I have not had cancer but chose to have the surgery as a preventive measure. Does the throbbing and burning sensation mean I could have cancer?

Hello dear,thank you for using HCM. I read your query and understand your concern. I think you dont have cancer since had double mastectomy as a preventive measurement. Also burning and throbbing are not signs of cancer. Look for other signs of infection and infestacion. Best regards
