[|Human|] I had my son via vaginal delivery almost 3 weeks ago, and 2 days ago I noticed a small lump that appeared in my right armpit. It was tender that day, but yesterday it only hurt when I wore a shirt that rubbed against it. Today there s another knot that formed near the first, but it s not painful either. They re located higher up on my armpit, no where close to my breast. What could it be? Should I go see a doctor?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history of normal vaginal delivery 3 weeks ago and lump in the armpit 2 days only, one of which has gotten large and painful, high up in the same arm pit. Unless proved otherwise this looks to be a boil and nothing else. I would advise you the following:Yes, see a Doctor to get this examined and to confirm whether this is a boil or a lymph node. Breasts too will be examined to see for any lump and to rule out the possibility of any Cancer. Clean the area with Liquid Provide Iodine, keep it Chat Doctor. Do not pop. Take a course of an antibiotic safe in the period of breastfeeding. And you will be fine.
