I have had swollen lymph glands in the left underarm over the last few years.  A doctor said that a biopsy would most probably reveal a malignancy.  However, I refused the biopsy and opted for natural health, including wheat grass juicing, meditation, lifestyle changes, vegan and gluten free diet and taken several homeopathic remedies.  The glands did reduce but have swollen again.  This time there is a shiny red patch on the skin where the gland is most swollen and it is not resolving.  The patch is about the size of a 5p and the glands remain swollen and knotted in a thread like way.  Can anyone suggest why the red patch on the skin?  What treatment can I use to heal the problem?
