Hello, Sunni! How are you?

Well, only your doctor can give you a definitive answer, but it seems there's a good chance he may have thought it was some type of cyst. An antibiotic is often the first thing to try to get rid of surface cysts like that.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, some lumps under the arm are due to blocked sweat glands. I used to get them, when I used one particular brand of deodorant. Once I stopped using it, they eventually went away on their own.

Another idea is that he may have thought it was a swollen gland and you had some type of infection.

Has there been any change, yet?
