I'm checking my underarm to see if there's something unusual

I don't know if there's a lump or what. Maybe my being fat including on the underarm made me think i might have some lump. I have been feeling this for two years or so. At first there's some pain not on the underarm but on the back of my arm close to the underarms. But i don't see any obvious or physical sign of a lump but my it feels there's some big fat or something. But the pain didn't last long. I had it intermittently. Sometimes it felt my underarm is back to just acceptable size sometimes it's quite fat again. It's like hard to touch sometimes. But sometimes i don't feel that it's hard to the touch.ihave consulted or asked a dermatologist about it. She said i should consult a doctor on surgery. But then she said it might be that when i perspire, i did perspire a lot last summer that sweat is absorbed into the skin and pores on my underarms which cause that lump feeling. but when it's dry that is back to normal size and normal feeling again. she said it's normal and she just prescribed a quite expensive lotion or ointment that i should put on both underarms to prevent my sweat being absorbed by the skin. Like there's a little pain on my left underarm now. I don't know what this is. I would try to see a doctor in surgery. If i can find the time.

It is something new to me..but try to have an appointment with a general doctor because a dermatologist doctor is focused on skins or outer changes..I think you have problems internally so better see a doctor who can check your overall health..Wish you can find out soon and do something about it..Good luck

You should always find the time for a health check-up. If you don't, you may regret it later.
