Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Recurring Painful Lumps Under The Armpit Indicate Cancer?
I have these lumps that keep re appearing under my armpit and they are very painful. Sometimes there s no lump but the pain is extra excruciating. Antibiotics do not seem to be helping. Could this be a form of cancer? Help me find some answers. I m a 15 year old girl
Have you noticed these lumps to appear around the same time during your menstrual cycle? If yes then these lumps are a result of hormonal fluctuations that are more common around the time of your period, and are nothing to worry about. Antibiotics will not make a difference and I would still advise going about a biopsy if required, but that is for your gynecologist to decide.
Best wishes.
