What Causes A Large Red Spot Under The Arm?
My husband just showed me a large (size of silver dollar) red spot under his arm…not armpit, just below. It definitely has a lump that in under the skin. It is lighter red around the spot about the size of the palm of a hand. It is very warm to the touch. Thinking insect bite, boil? Put lavender and hot compress on it.

Hi,
I need to have a photograph of the red spot under the arm of your husband to get it analyzed for a more specific opinion.
From what you are describing, such red spot might be due to tick's bite. I advise to send your husband to ER as soon as possible and get him immediate evaluation and start specific treatment as soon as possible.
Do not apply anything until you see the doctor!
Wish fast recovery!
