The diameter of the lymph nodes in the armpit is about 5 to 10mm, if the size of the lymph nodes in the armpit is 13mmx8mm, then there is a problem of enlarged lymph nodes. There are many causes of enlarged lymph nodes and their severity varies, so it is important to go to the hospital in time for examination to clarify the nature of the lymph nodes as well as the cause of their development. Generally speaking, if the boundaries of the lymph nodes are clear, there is a certain degree of tenderness and pressure, and accompanied by symptoms such as redness of the skin, then it may be caused by inflammation and infection, which is not particularly serious, as long as the inflammation is actively controlled, then the lymph nodes can gradually subside.
