[|Human|] i have a large lump on both of my underarms. it stays there normally, but sometimes it swells, the area turns reddish, and is extremely painfull. I have tried hot compression with water but no pus or anything comes out. Its been there nearly 2 years. please advice.
[|AI|]  Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged axillary lymph nodes. Enlargement may be due to reactive hyperplasia or tuberculosis or may BR due to some other cause.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology to check exact cause.  If it is due to reactive hyperplasia then you should go for course of antibiotics.  If it is due to some other cause then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
