bumps under the armpit

I have had a bump in my armpit for over a year, it is very hard and now I am starting to feel another one coming under the same armpit. I had one several years ago which became infected and had to be lanced.

I have a rash on both my arms (the part that touches the armpit) that has been evolving for several weeks. Early on, it was large bumps (1-1.5cm x .5cm) on the armpit itself, now it is small bumps on the skin that surrounds the armpit. On the right arm it's about 3.5cm (from the start of armpit up the arm) and about 1.5 cm (on the perimeter of the armpit only on the right side)They have always been reddish, and itchy. I also have a patch of the rash on my chin, under my lower lip.

My right armpit is fine. Can anyone tell me why these bumps are under my armpit and why its getting worst? And what i can use to heal it?

about a week ago I had 2 small pea size bumps under the the right armpit no pain. I tried to pop them thinking they were pimples but they are deep in the tissue. ( no pussing). 2 days ago I woke up with a large lump under my left armpit which is very painful. What should I do? I'm very scared...Could this be Cancer???? I had Ovarian Cancer 18 years ago.

And just another note that the fairly dark portion of my armpit closest to my back is the skin after the healing from a large boil about a month ago.

I felt my armpit and found hard bumps or lumps and they are pea-sized and painful to the touch. There is about 10 under the right armpit. The skin is slightly red and I also have them under my left armpit, but only about 5 of them. They are painful to the touch as well and slightly itchy. The pain feels prickly and tender and it hurts more when I move my arm.

First off I'm a 32 male. For a few years now I've gotten bumps under my armpits that are red and painful. I always thought it was from shaving but recently I have gotten them and don't shave anymore. I switched from old spice deodorant to an all natural deodorant, native, after I was getting a small rash and itching. Now I have a bigger rash under my left armpit but my right armpit is fine. Can this be from deodorant? Laundry detergent? I don't sweat all that much.

I'm.african American I'm 19 years old and I have this dark bump under my arm but under my armpit its itchy also sometimes or when I touched it I guess please help me...

For the first time in my 44 years of life, i have developed under my left armpit some bumps that are like raised moles and colored blackish purple. They don't itch and I actually almost got rid of them when I washed my armpit with head and shoulders shampoo. After not paying attention to them for about 3 weeks while I recovered from the flu, they were back and had spread even more under my armpit! Could it be fungus, or cancer or what?

I have this under both my armpits, inner thighs and under both of my breasts. I've had it for about 6 years now. I've been diagnosed and it is something called hidradenitis supprutiva. Not much research has been done on it though. The ones I get under my armpit are the most painful. I've done my own research and have found that bactrin and zinc tend to help the flare ups happen less. I hope this helps!

just last night i was checking my breast and under my armpits for lumps..like i do once a night every month , but when i was feeling my left armpit ..right above where my hair grows ..there's this huge lump there kinda feels like a little hill..and its got me worried , it only hurts when i push on it and when i do, i feel a lot of little pea size bumps ..but it doesn't hurt ..unless i push on it ..i'm scared because cancer runs high iin my family ..

I noticed a few days ago after shaving that I had a bump under my arm. It was only slightly sore at first but was yellow/white full of puss. It easily sqeezed out. I usual get razor bumps; however this time the minor bump turned into a large lump under my left armpit. I've noticed a dimple in the middle of it. The lump is sore and tender and inflammed. Should I try to drain it again even though it's very very very painful and won't budge?

A few days ago I got an itchy red bump under my right armpit and within days the right armpit and upper under arm has several red itchy bumps and the left armpit is also developing a few (not like the right). I have been putting Neosporine and Cortizone cream on it but it does not seem to be getting much better. Any ideas? I am unable to see a doctor for financial reasons at this time. Thank you!

I'm a 16 year old male, and i've had a lump under my armpit for about a month now, and i was wondering if anyone could give me any insight as to what it is. It isn't very big, it doesn't hurt, although it can get a bit tender if i mess with it, it's pretty hard, and seems to be under the skin. I read somewhere that using an antiperspirant can cause bumps like this, and i use Mitchum Unscented roll on. Does anyone know if this has any type of connection?

Hi, So I currently have a bunch of little bumps under my armpits. They are pea-sized or smaller and there are probably 4-6 under each armpit. I am guessing these may be lymph nodes, but I have been able to feel them there for a fairly long time. I use to have sebaceous cysts so I took accutane a few years ago and that cleared up most of my cysts and acne, but I now get cysts on the right side of my neck. I have 2 right now that are probably 3-5cm and movable, but painless.

m scared because I have 2 bumps under the right armpit..And 1 under the left armpit..They hurt when i touch them n when I put deodarant n take a shower..n when i raise my arms they hurt..I need help I do sweat alot but i take showers n clean myself good..

I have skin colored bumps under my left armpit only in an outline of the backside of the armpit to directly underneath. It has not spread and i was on Follical medicene but that did nothing to clear up the rash. The bumps if squeezed are almost pimple like at times and at other times not? I know i should see a Dermo but i don't have insurance right now so i'm looking for any possible suggestions on what this could be thanks in advance.

I had a lump the size of a dime inside the skin and it was painfu under my left armpitl. i was out of the country and an uncle of mine had happened to give me some type of pill to make the lump go away. and i did notice it get smaller and eventually it went away. Now i have another one on my right armpit a slight bigger than the one i had before on my left armpit also painful when its touched. should i be concerned?

Responding first to the title of your question plus the first couple of lines of the question itself: HIV infection does not cause isolated lymph node inflammation, i.e. only an armpit or anywhere else; it only causes widespread lymph node involvement in several areas of the body at once. Second, your negative HIV tests through 10 weeks prove you don't have HIV. (Initially indeterminate HIV test results usually turn out to be negative, as in your case.

The lump under my armpit is 3" long by 1" wide. It does not hurt when I press and freely move my hand around the lump and it is not hard. I had a CT scan done this past Thursday and will meet with my doctor to see the results on Monday. My doctor will also have me do an MRI scan before he does a biopsy. I noticed yesterday another lump is beginning to form on my other armpit.

Yesterday i shaved my armpits and later in the day i noticed a small bump under my right armpit. I am now dead worried and could not sleep even with xanax. Can someone please advice how and why is this bump created. is this dangerous or related to HIV. please help as i am very worried.

I have these tender sore bumps under both my armpits. it startedd only on my right underarm but moved to the left as well. It looks like pimples, but not puss or white head it is just red and sore. I have tried switching detorants but that didn't do anything, I am mostly wondering what it is and how I can make the bumps go away.

I have big red bumps under my Armpit. It started out as a rash, and then a few big bumps formed on my arm. Then weeks later they have doubled. They get red when I sweat or when water hits them. Now it's to the point to where It hurts to lift up my arms and it feels like boiling water hitting them when I take a shower. I'm only 15 years old. Please help me?

I have been using it for a short amount of time. The first time i used it was before i went to bed. In the morning all the bumps shrunk in size and were not nearly as red as they were.
