Hi I have a small hard lump in my left arm pit which is sometimes a bit sore and sometimes not. I went to the doctors and was told that it was an insect bite and that it would go away, it did start to go away but now it seems to have flared up again. I also have a sharp pain in the upper left side of my back (which sometimes moves to my chest). It is most painful when I m laying down. I had the back pain for about a week and the lump in my arm pitt for about 2/3 weeks. Just today I have noticed that there is a very small lump forming in my neck (on the right side just under my jawline) which is a bit sore to touch. Are any of these things related?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have axillary and cervical lymph node enlargement.  It may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma.  You should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
