Common Questions and Answers about Lump under armpit pus

Avatar f tn So I'm 20, a female and I've gotten a lump under the skin, by my groin, it doesn't hurt I've stuck a needle in it and didn't feel a thing to pop and squeeze everything out and it got a bit smaller but came back...I've also recently found another lump further in my skin and in not reachable to pop. Then yesterday found a lump just as such under my armpit and on my throat. (I've also been sick for about 3 weeks now, flu maybe) any ideas?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I found a lump under my left armpit. It's beneath the skin. It's rigid. It's about the size of a pea and painful. I also have a lump in the top of my arm which has been there for many months. That lump is a bit small and feels like it's lodged deeper into the skin. It does not hurt. Do I have reason for concern?
Avatar f tn I was 23 years old when I first got a lump under my arm and it got so big and very painful, I went to the doctor and he told me I had an infection in something under my arm, but he punctured the lump and all this pus started coming out. (green pus). He fussed at me saying that this is poisonous and I shouldn't have waited so long to come in. It was from the deodorant and I have tried different brands, different kinds and they all have the same effect.
Avatar m tn About 5 days ago, I noticed a lump on my armpit which had a yellowish, tiny, pus-like bud. No pus or debris appeared, however, hence I'm not sure if it is an abscess. 2-3 days later, a separate lump appeared on the same armpit, but this one is elongated, like a strip. There are also extremely tiny buds (close to dots but not as 2-dimensional) on it. Both are reddish, painful and relatively (not very) hard when I raise my armpit and apply pressure on them.

494669 tn?1275362475 Hi, An armpit lump refers to enlargement of one or more lymph nodes under the arm. Lumps in the armpit have various causes. Cysts and infections on the surface of the skin of the armpit may be caused by shaving or use of antiperspirants Abscesses under the skin may also produce large, painful lumps in the armpit. This may also occur as a result of bacterial or viral infections, vaccinations , and cancer. There is a higher risk of cancer if the mother or siblings are diagnosed.
Avatar n tn hi, I have a medium sixed lump just under my armpit, it isnt hard but has been there now for over three months. Should I check with doctors or because its not hard should i leave it?
Avatar n tn I have had swelling under my armpit in a lump that is sometime the size of a almond up to a ping-pong balls size. It started about 4 weeks ago, it was just in one side and my Dr said it was a swollen lymph gland and gave me antibiotics. It slowly went away. I happened again 2 weeks later, same armpit slightly higher. Then 2 days ago I noticed a swollen lump in my labia majora. I went to the Dr who sent me to Emergancy.
Avatar n tn I have a big bump under my armpit. I woke up with it one day, you cant see it but if you touch it you can feel it and it hurts really bad. I cant lift my arm up or do much with that arm. I have no idea what it is and i'm a little scared. I dont know what it is.
Avatar m tn I am having this lump in my armpit which was painful at first and then after few days there was secretions from it ... yellowish smelly fluid.... i started taking antibiotics .... the smell went away though the discharge is still there but its colorless..... the lump is near the junction ... and there are two open holes one on the upper side and one on the lower side through which secretion comes out .... and the adjoining area is red and hard to touch ....
Avatar m tn I decided to do some reading online and everything I read says that if the lump was painful and moved under the skin it was probably nothing BUT...if it was firm, not painful, stayed in place and grew at a fairly fast rate..it could very well be cancer? Mine is everything they said. I am scared to death! Are my doctors (or their assistants) not too bright? How can they not know what I found out on the internet? They always say that the faster you catch cancer, the better off you are.

601881 tn?1219801963 I have a lump also in my armpit. I've scheduled an appointment next week to get it checked out. My grandmother who I look like died of Hodgkins Disease so I want to make sure it is nonthing of the sort. I would say if it doesn't hurt and not discolored it probably not a cyst or boil.

Avatar m tn Im 16 and i found a lump under my armpit, under the skin about 4 months ago, it dissapears and reappears it usually appears a week before my period, but can appear at anytime. The other day i noticed a bulge on top of the skin that sticks out, it is about 3cm away from the actual lump, i also sweat alot, what could this be?
Avatar n tn 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.
