A lump in my armpit

Melissa31

Hi,
Last week after the shower I found a small painful lump in my right groin. I went to see a doctor and he prescribed me some antibiotics. I’ve been taking it for 5 days and the lump is still there. I’m 31, usually healthy and work-out in the gym regularly, don’t smoke or use drugs and don’t take any medications.
Is that dangerous? Should I go and see another doctor?

Are you suffering from one or more very sore red cyst-like lumps under your arm pit? Well, it may be Lymphadenitis. If you are in a lot of pain right now and can’t get an immediate appointment with your doctor, there is one very simple treatment you can do that may just make that nasty lump go away. Start taking increased doses of vitamin E supplements. Vitamin E is a very powerful antioxidant and a fat soluble vitamin with no known toxicity. It may just make that nasty lump go away within 24 to 48 hours, before you even get into that doctor’s appointment that you may have already scheduled.

Well, if the doctor prescribed you antibiotics it means he thinks this lump is an abcess or caused by infection. Sometimes one antibiotic is not enough to make an abcess go away and I think you need to go back to your doctor, and have him take another look, think maybe you need a different antibiotic and also maybe he will try and open it in order to drain it.

What you describe sounds like enlarged lymph node. The first diagnosis that’s suspected in such case is an infection that makes it painful. The antibiotics you take need several more days to act, so currently it doesn’t sound suspicious. If the lump persist, it’d be wise to consult you doctor
