Hi Michael,

Sorry for the delay in responding....

Just the other day I found a similar spot under my left arm. I waited a few days to call my Oncologist to see if it would go away by itself - well, it didn't. I called Mayo and she thought it was cellulitis and prescribed an anti-inflammatory along with an antibiotic. Within three days it started to drain (a substantial amount), which leads me to believe it was an abscess. I see my Oncologist tomorrow and will know more after she looks at it.

I would let your doctor know what you've found and then I would just keep a really close eye on it.

Hope this was helpful....

Susan
