What Is The Painful Lump Under Armpit With Bruise On Bicep?
Sudden onset of a painful lump under my left armpit with a sensation of a rubberband stretched to tight in my bicep. The next day, lump was still there, not as painful and the pain in my arm had diminished as well. Bruise developed on my bicep what appeared to be following path of a vein. I am a two time breast cancer survivor and I had a bilateral mastectomy in 2010.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be an infection of the filariasis. In this the proximal lymph gland is infected, swells up, inflamation and pain is seen. Following days there is resicission of the swelling, and infection spreads to the lymphgland down the arm, or leg.
There the inflamation comes down, and the distal lymphatic duct is inflamed. Lastly the distal part is inflamed and swells up, giving the shape of the filariasis of the hand.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatmet.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms diethyl carbamazine citrate,diclofenac ,ofloxacin. After starting the treatment also the steps of the disease follows.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
