Common Questions and Answers about Lump in armpit from shaving

lump

Avatar f tn Hi i'm 21 years old overweight woman. I've been having a lump in my right armpit and it really hurts. The first time i found it was months ago and that time it burst and kinda gone but sometimes it would appear again in my armpit (but not on the same spot), sometimes in my left armpit. I've been using ichthyol cream and doesn't seem to make it all gone. as for my breasts, I never felt any pain on my breast or find a lump. should i be worried? thankyou so much.
Avatar f tn The most prevalent cause of a lump in the armpit is infection. An infection can be localized to the armpit itself (perhaps a nick from shaving) or it can be more widespread.. you may also have a boil or abscess just under the skin. If it's a swollen lymph node,this could be caused by an infection somewhere in the body.
Avatar f tn Found a lump in armpit pea sized dosen't hurt. But right breast has been feeling tender should I be worried I am only 16.
Avatar n tn I woke up last week with a very painful, golf ball sized lump in my armpit. I went straight to the doctor and he said it isnt a lymph node, and he cut into it to test for staph. the staph test came back negative and he packed it full of gauze for 2 days. When i went back to have the guaze removed, it was still huge and painful, so he sent me to the hospital for an ultrasound.

441182 tn?1204774014 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?
Avatar f tn A little over a month ago, a lump started growing in my left armpit. It was hot, tender, painful, and eventually about the width of a quarter. About a week later, it started decreasing in size, until it shrunk to about the size of a dime. By then it was no longer hot or painful, barely noticeable. Then at about 3 weeks it began growing again, not painful, but noticeably larger. After a few days, it started shrinking again. As of right now, it is currently increasing in size, but not extremely.

Avatar n tn I have a lump in my armpit and I don't really know what it is or where is came from. I went to my doctor and he said that it was just a lump and it would go away in a few days. That was 3 weeks ago. It is still here. I don't know what to do but I hope you people can help me out just a bit. Thanks teen.girl.
Avatar f tn My first step would be to determine if the lump under your armpit changes in anyway over the next few days. If it remains troublesome, schedule an appt with your doctor for a clinical breast exam and pending his findings, determine at that time if additional exams such as a mammogram or ultrasound would be beneficial.
Avatar n tn An armpit lump refers to enlargement of one or more lymph nodes in the armpit. It could be cysts and infections on the surface of the skin of the armpit caused by shaving or use of antiperspirants or abscesses under the skin. Lumps may be produced by lymph nodes enlarged due to bacterial infections, viral infections, vaccinations, and malignancy including the breast. I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar n tn The intermittant pain that you are feeling in your left armpit may be due to many reasons. Have you nicked a hair follicle after shaving your armpit? Have you had an infection/virus lately? This may also be muscular. All in all,,, again pain in the breast as a rule is not associated with breast cancer. I think you are worrying too much. Get that ultrasound and I bet everything will be ok. If a mass is seen, which I am thinking probably not from how you worded your question..
Avatar f tn I have been reading your other posts and have similar questions about a garbanzo sized lump I just noticed last night in the middle of my armpit. I touch my armpits often, (washing ,shaving etc.) It seems to have appeared over night. It doesn't really hurt, however as I am poking and prodding it, it seems to be a bit tender. There is no redness or disruption of the skin and does not look like a pimple. If I raise my arm and extend it, turn to the side, I can see clear bump.

Avatar n tn I have just recently got some soreness on my right armpit. I think there is a lump. It has only just started to hurt, what is it? and what shall I do? Please help, I'm only 16.
Avatar f tn You can place some in a container in the fridge to get rid of odors, put some in your shoes to get rid of nasty smells. These are just a few uses, you can also use it in baking, cleaning and all sorts. If you get any more of those nasty lumps, go to the doc asap for an investigation and an antibiotic if required. Magnesium sulphate can be used as a drawing ointment, but only when the skin is not broken.

Avatar n tn Hi, The lump in your armpit may be caused by shaving or use of antiperspirants, bacterial or viral infections, vaccinations, benign cyst, lipomas, and even cancer. Have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management. Your complete medical history, physical examination and some tests will help determine the underlying cause. Take care and best regards.
