My concern is I used to have an armpit lump under one of my armpits, which the doctor claimed it was a sebaceous gland during the time of diagnosis. Now, fast forward to 12 years later, the lump is still there, but it has gotten smaller in size. Whenever I touched it, it feels like there is small pimple (about 0.25 cm) hidden underneath my skin. My question is if I were to go for underarm laser hair removal treatment, will it affect the armpit lump in any way? Thank you.

Thank you for your question. Laser Hair Removal is a great option for removing unwanted hair. However, the laser should not be placed over areas with tattoos. Tattoos should be fully covered or completely avoided during the procedure to ensure they are protected and not exposed to the laser....
Thank you for your message! The size of the tip of the laser depends on what laser the office you choose uses. It is possible to avoid moles, just by not going over that area with the laser. The laser may be a bit more uncomfortable if moles are gone over due to the darker pigmentation, though...
There is no lasting body odor associated with laser hair removal. You may notice a char hair smell, but that is temporary and stays in the treatment room.
