Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Armpit

Okay, so my friends were smoking pot on tuesday(four days ago) and I told them I didn t want to get high, I did take one hit even though I do not like weed at all. They hotboxed the garage and ever since then I ve had severe bloating and constipation. My skin is breaking out extremely bad all over, and I have a lump in my armpit. I haven t been able to eat much, and when I do it seems to make things worse. Even though I should have lost weight since I am not eating, it says I have gained!! What is going on??

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Painful lump in armpit can be enlarged axillary lymphnode. It may be due to some reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for complete blood count, erythrocytes sedimentation rate and 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 health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
