Armpit discomfort

For about a month I’m experiencing issues with armpit discomfort. There is no rash and it’s not consistent.Spoke to pharmacist and doctor over the phone who suggested fungal cream. At first I thought it is helping but the discomfort is now back and oddly I can feel it more when swallowing. I do t have a sore throat, no enlarged lymph node and it’s only affecting my right armpit.

I have a vulval lichen sclerosis but it well managed and I don’t experience symptoms.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • Welcome to the forum Mumoftwoboys although I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort you've been experiencing in your armpit.

    As the fungal cream hasn't seemed to have worked and your discomfort has returned, it would be best to go back to your GP and let them know about this so they can carry out further investigations to get to the cause of the problem.

    I'm sure some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon but in the meantime, we'll have our fingers crossed that these symptoms start to improve and are no cause for concern.

    Kind regards,
