How Can severe Painful Lumps On The Armpit Be Treated?

Hello, my name is Anna. I am 18 years old. I have had lumps come up in my left armpit before and my physician told me it wasn t an abscess. We did a mammogram and determined that I had a mass in my left breast that was not cancerous. Recently, another lump appeared the first in months. Should I go and get rechecked?

arm pit & breast are two different portions of the body.

An investigation called FNAC of the lump in armpit would be the right thing to do.


It is a simple test where they insert a needle into the lump & get a test done.

please get back with the results.
