441182 tn?1204774014 You could have it due to shaving or waxing or using a deodarant. Underarm lump can be caused by viral infection, allergic reaction, a swollen lymph node or a benign tumor like lipoma. It can also be folliculitis due to shaving or waxing. Underarm lumps are axillary lymph nodes which could be enlarged secondary to infection or even trauma and in rare cases due to malignancy. They are usually enlarged when a new deodorant is used, after shaving or waxing the underarm area.

9624973 tn?1413016130 10 months ago (august 2019) i‘ve shaved my armpits with wax, Which left me with some serious skin irritation for at least 3,4 months( redness, pain, inflammation, etc). After about 3 months(october 2019), while i still had inflammation, i also noticed a pea sized lump under my right armpit. At that time i had many painful red bumps and i just thought it was one of them. I thought it might be due to waxing and i just stopped using deodorants and kept the area clean.

Avatar f tn Hello, It's quite common for ingrown hairs to develop, particularly following waxing or shaving. I've actually recently read that the trend towards Brazilian waxing has made the problem more common. I used to think that you wouldn't get as many, but that's not the case. Now if it's not your usual ingrown hair as you indicate - it could be sebaceous cyst which are caused by blocked oil glands in the skin.
Avatar f tn The lump that you feel could be an axillary lymph node. These are known to enlarge secondary to shaving, waxing, using a new deodorant, due to infection or inflammation, etc. Use some warm compresses and do not shave, wax or use a deodorant for a few days - the lump should resolve on its own. Have you noticed any abnormal features on breast self examination like a breast lump, nipple discharge or skin changes?
Avatar n tn Underarm lumps are axillary lymph nodes which could be enlarged secondary to infection or even trauma. They are usually enlarged when a new deodorant is used, after shaving or waxing the underarm area. In your case the cut could also be responsible for the underarm lumps. You should avoid using a deodorant, shaving or waxing the area for a few days and try to maintain good personal hygiene. Wear lose , comfortable clothes and take a pain relief medication if the pain is severe.
Avatar f tn I noticed one morning that I felt a lump on my inner thigh, right on the bikini line. You couldn't really see it, but you could feel it, and it hurt when I touched it. A few days later, I can't move my leg without awful pain throughout the side of my vagina where the lump is, and the lump is now the size of a big walnut and a magenta color. There's a tiny white dot that makes it seem squeezable, but I don't think that's the best idea...
Avatar f tn After taking the Morning After Pill in June, I noticed a significant amount of facial hair growth as well as more/longer hairs on my back. These hairs are light colored but fairly long and are more pronounced than common 'peach fuzz'. My question is will they 'go away' with a little time or should I wax my face? Will waxing cause a regrowth and will it be darker hair that will regrow? Any suggestions?
454898 tn?1205935993 I found a lump under my left arm very close to the breast, I put it down to nothing but over the past week I have noticed it has got bigger and I am unsure off what it could be, it is not painful as such but i know it's there now as when i have my arm by my side i can feel it.
Avatar n tn Hello, From the symptoms these bumps after waxing are folliculitis. Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case. I hope it helps.

Avatar f tn Folliculitis and ingrown hair are common even after waxing. If you still want to go in for facial waxing ,then apply cold compresses(ice cubes wrapped in a towel) on the rash and take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or claritin. You can also apply calamine lotion on the rash. It will help in soothing the skin. A mild corticosteroid cream will also help. Also you can go in for laser hair removal which causes permanent reduction of hair and does not cause folliculitis also.
Avatar n tn Underarm lumps are axillary lymph nodes which could be enlarged secondary to infection or even trauma. They are usually enlarged when a new deodorant is used, after shaving or waxing the underarm area. Have you got an ultrasound done as yet and have you got a clinical examination got done by a physician? This would help in coming to a confirmed diagnosis. This does not look to be cancerous, especially if it has resolved by itself.
Avatar f tn I have a lump under my armpit, i was told about 6 years ago in the er that it was a assist, and they wanted to cut it out in the er, well i wouldnt do it, because i was afraid, so for years it would come and go, but now its back, and its slightly bigger and sore, so could anyone tell me if assist can turn into cancer?
Avatar n tn You could have it due to shaving or waxing or using a deodarant. Underarm lump can be caused by viral infection, allergic reaction, a swollen lymph node or a benign tumor like lipoma. Wait for a few days and see if the lump resolves. If it persists consult your physician for a clinical evaluation. Try some OTC painkillers for a few days. Try some warm compresses and wear lose comfortable cotton clothes. Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how you are doing. Regards.
Avatar n tn try to wax the hair out in a single strip as multiple strips may injure the skin more. After waxing apply ice(wrapped in a towel) and some calamine lotion on the skin which helps in soothing. You can also take some over the counter anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen after waxing. However,the best method of painless hair removal is by laser treatment. I would advise you to consult a dermatologist/cosmetologist and discuss this option with him. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Avatar n tn The day after my last period finished a swelling appeared around my left armpit area. It is quite large and visible to anyone looking. It doesnt hurt in any way and is soft and spongy to the touch but when i press down on it i can feel something deep inside. Its kind of hard to explain but it feels like a long line with ridges on it. When i lift my arms above my head it totally vanishes.
