View allI'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've noticed that around 10 or 15 of my underarm hairs on one side have turned white all of a sudden. Is this something I should be worried about? It seems really strange to me. Why did only a few hairs change color, and why on just one side? Could there be an underlying reason for this?

I'm dealing with really swollen and painful armpits for about a week now. There's nothing visible except for the swelling. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for?
Swollen and painful armpits for a week warrant medical attention; possible causes include infected lymph nodes, hidradenitis suppurativa, or an allergic reaction; apply warm compresses to reduce discomfort and schedule an appointment with a doctor, who may prescribe antibiotics or further testing, such as a biopsy or ultrasound, to determine the underlying cause.
