It sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node in your armpit, which can be caused by various reasons such as infection or inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area for 10-15 minutes a few times a day. If the swelling and pain persist or worsen, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm using Sebamed sunscreen 50 but noticed that it's only SPF 30, and my oily, sensitive skin tends to look dull on some days when I use it, while other days it seems fine. I'm considering switching to a gel-based sunscreen like Sunprotek because it has good reviews. I'm just not sure about the quality and ingredients, and whether it's a physical or chemical sunscreen. Can you help clarify this?
