It feels like it's getting worse each day. This morning my left arm was so numb, I swear the pain feels like it was going down my arm. What kind of doctor could I see for this (a dermatologist?) What this cyst have to be surgically removed? |
I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I don't really get them in my armpits anymore; just my groin & thighs now. But I had one in my armpit in high school and it hurt SO FRIGGIN BAD. I remember waiting and waiting for it to pop (gross, I know....but it meant relief in my mind) and it just kept getting bigger and bigger. One day in class something didn't feel...."right" and I asked to go to the bathroom. It was finally popping and it was one of the grossest things I had ever seen. But it improved my day dramatically because the pain was gone.
Maybe your regular doctor can lance or drain it for you since you can't get in to your derm until June. They should be able to provide some relief for you until you can get in to your derm.
Good luck sweetie!
