As a dermatologist, advising prompt medical attention for a painful lump in the armpit accompanied by burning sensations throughout the arm is sound advice. This symptom combination could indeed indicate various serious conditions, including infections, lymph node inflammation, skin conditions, injuries, or even underlying medical issues like cysts, abscesses, or cancer. Seeking timely evaluation and diagnosis from a healthcare professional is crucial for proper treatment and management.
