I have had a lump in my underarm now for almost 2 weeks.  Over the past few days I have developed a cold.  The lump is painful when pressed upon, but if I dont touch it it seems ok.  I am wondering if I should go in and get it checked out.  I have had ingrown hairs, etc before but this lump does not have a center.
Hi. The lumps in the area of underarms will have no definite characters due to its position. Unless proved otherwise this is an abscess. May be an infected sebaceous cyst or a lymph node. Need to be seen by a Doctor and to get prescription based antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines.
