Barely visible swelling under armpits
I have had swelling the size of a big mosquito bite under my armpit for several months. It is barely visible by naked eye and is not like a boil or acne. It looks exactly like a normal mosquito bite. No pus or anything. It only pains when pressed and otherwise doesn't bother much. First I thought it might be due to deodorant use. I stopped using deodorant 1 month back but the swelling is still there.
