Suggest Treatment For Itching And Knot In Armpit
Hello, my dads armpit started itching a couple weeks ago and as the weeks progressed he developed a knot under his skin and now the knot is gone but what's left is a hole about the size of an eraser top...he says it still itches and it looks enflamed. Could you tell me what might be happening?

HI
Well come to HCM
Itching could be due to hypersensitivity reaction, because of the itching chances of infection may have taken place, and this could cause lymph node swelling, I would suggest the following medicines
1) Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three time in day
2) Tab levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day
hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
