What Is The Treatment For A Large Lump In The Armpit?

I have a lump under my left arm pit. It started in 2009 and was the size of a pin head. I showed my dr and she said it was nothing to worry about. Now 5 years later it has grown to the size of large grape. It has not oozed any fluid and doesn t have a head on it. Recently I noticed it has a foul odor. It is skin color. It doesn t hurt to touch it. Can you help?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some axillary lymphnode enlargement due to reactive lymphoid hyperplasia or tuberculosis. Or you may have lipoma or soft tissue lesion. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology. Then you should take treatment according to your diagnosis.
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.
