It&#8217;s usually a sign of\u00a0enlargement of the lymph nodes<b> <\/b>caused by an infection. When I was a child, I have applied\u00a0lots of the gel under my arm this evening to see how it helps.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Dose:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Drank &#8211; 4x60ml<br \/>\nGel\u00a0 2x applications on arm, scar, neck face and legs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>28 April Saturday<\/strong><br \/>\nOmg had an awful night sleep \ud83d\udca4\u00a0late night, poor Rosie (my dog) had an upset stomach, so she was asking to go out all the time, then either the kittens or Rosie had an accident in the night, so I was cleaning \ud83d\udca9 up all night! \ud83d\ude2d\u00a0So I woke up feeling extremely tired.<\/p>\n<p>Last night I discovered a lump in my armpit, which seems less painful after putting that gel on, so that\u2019s a positive.
