Pain in the underarm
She has pain in the underarm for the past 3days only while pressing under arm
But there is no abnormalities in outer surface of the underarm and breast, while examining we could find few lumps in breast one with maximum of 4cm
Doc said that it may be infection and gave antibiotics and if it didn't work she said she would drain the pus from the cyst
Kindly tell whether it is serious
Or could be cured
Whether it is cancerous or not

Is the lady having her menstrual periods now? If yes the pain could be related to that.. An abscess is unlikely without fever and other systemic symptoms.. Do get a sonogram done after the course of antibiotics.. And if indicated a mammogram after that
