Lump Under Arm

Asked for Female, 22 years

My sister has a lump under her right arm. Its been long time like (maybe 4 years) to have, even we consulted with the lady doctor she said its all fat tissues nothing else try to avoid chocolates and lose weight but she is not that much fat she is like a chubby girl. Then my Mom got to relax. But its been 1 year now it’s happening the same thing on her left underarm and she said and now I feel pain here on my left side when she presses. So please suggest what should we do.

Dear Patient,

Her pain indicates a possible infection. I would recommend her to see a female general surgeon as this seems like an infected hair follicle which is common in young girls. Is it possible you resend this query with a few photos of the lump? If not then kindly see a female general surgeon. She can guide you. Usually, once she does an antibiotic course the lump can burst n pus will be released. Try noticing if the lump has a small hole on it or if it's smooth? Is the lump soft or hard? Is it attached to the skin above or is freely moving under it? It's worth visiting a surgeon to have a clear idea.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best General Surgeons in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
