Lumps under armpits and eye

Hi there. I wonder if anyone has experienced the same, I have lumps under both armpits about 1 - 2mm in thickness and they are starting to join up. Not painful, red in colour, nothing oozing from them. Further to this, a few small lumps have developed uner my left eye, some small, some larger. Blood tests all fine, foliculitis and hidradenitis-suppurativa ruled out. 2 courses of anti biotics have done nothing. Have had them for a couple of months now and doctor baffled. Have just been asked to come back in to surgery for re-grouping at the end of this month.

Can you post a picture of the eye lumps?

How has Hidrdentitis been rued out? Did they do a test for this?

hi there. Thank you for reading. The doc suggested this as a working diagnosis, but we were both not convinced it’s this as no puss and doesn’t hurt. And the eye as well as the armpit. Do you know is there a test for it though? At the moment he has photographed the lumps and sent to dermatologist and done blood tests x 2.

Looks like a meibomian cyst - is there anything to see if you look inside your lower lid?

I don't think it can be, it's too low down. The glands don't extend that far in the lower lid.

Sorry OP - I'm not sure.

Hi there. Thanks for your suggestion. There is nothing inside lower eyelid. However dermatology have got back to doc suggestng the eyelid and armpits lumps together pointing to be most likely “syringoma”. Awaiting a scan and go from there. I will update in due course. :-)
