Common Questions and Answers about Lump in armpit getting smaller
lump
Hi,
I am a 19 year old male. I recently discovered when i raise my right arm, there is a 'lump'. However, i cannot tell whether it is normal as in a muscle or bone from my shoulder area or indeed a lump. I can see it when i raise my arm straight up, and it is kinda in the area where the arm meets the center of the armpit. It is rather large, around a golf ball size. On my left arm there is a very similar 'lump' but just a slight bit smaller.
Hi. I'm 14 years old... and this lump under my right armpit is bothering me. It's painful that's why I searched some home remedies. I tried hot compress. It worked... after 1 week, the pain is gone but I'm curious why my lump doesn't go away. Right now, the lump is smaller and I can barely feel it. but when I take a bath, I can feel that there's still a lump. It's been 2 weeks since it first appeared but it still doesn't go away.
I have a smaller lump in the top of my armpit ( if that location makes sense) it doesn't hurt nor is uncomfortable. But I worries me, I do have a cold so I'm not sure if it is a lymph node. What else could it be? Should I go see a doctor? And how should I ask my parents to see the doctor?
I have had this thing for more than a year, and is not getting smaller. I do get pain in my ribs, as well as my back and neck, also for the past month, I have been nautious, and get very dizzy. Every time I go to the doc. office, they say the dizziness is Vertigo, and they gave me Antivert. The back pain they are saying is related to a previous injery(herniated disk) and I had surgery to fix that in 2003. Can any one point me in the direction pertaining to a swollen muscle.
, no pain swallowing, but an irregular feeling like a lump or abrasion) WITH what seemed to be salivary gland pain, two (first tender, then hard) lymph glands in neck, and pain/throb in armpit, groin, and femoral region (no noticed lumps except swollen pain in groin while on Augmentin) and ear pain.
I will say that I have chewed tobacco or smoked cigarettes for approx. 14 years.
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.
I found a lump in my left armpit (lower part, close to the left breast) 4 months ago. The lump was swollen then and the doctor I've consulted gave me antibiotics that made the swelling go away. (I used to shave everyday and put on deodorants and I think I got the swelling from that.) The lump got smaller but still remained pea-sized which is still there up to now.
However, given that the pea sized lump did not go away, am I in risk for breast cancer?
I had a lump on my left armpit then it went away, after a few days, i had another one on my right armpit, it gets smaller day after day and then i had another one near my private are. I'm only 16 and I'm really scared because I'm not sure what this could be.
Is this serious ? Do i need to go to doctor? Or can i just let it go?
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?
I am not sure what you mean by "found a lymph node." Do you mean you found a lump in the armpit? I have a little story about that. Here's a repeat of something I wrote a while ago in this forum:
I had a bit of a scare around December 8. My armpit (on the same side as the GM) started hurting (that's happened before, so I ignored it).
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.
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.
I'm fourteen. A few months ago I had gotten a lump in my right armpit. It was hard, from what I remember. I don't think that I did anything about it (sorry, my memory isn't the best so I'll try my best for details) and it went away after a while. Then another one came back in the same armpit. This one grew big and I only became aware of it when it began to hurt whenever I moved my arm. It was hard as well.
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?
Hey all. I just noticed this today in the shower. I have a hard lump slightly smaller than a penny, on the very inner thigh groin area. I've never come across anything like this in my life and I am a little freaked out. Its kinda painful, more of an annoyance. I can feel it when i shift my weight or walk. I practice safe sex, and get regular check ups twice a year. Should I go in? or leave it alone for a few days. Is there any cream or anything you guys would suggest to use?
Did anyone suggest maybe some clogged sweat glands in the armpit. I do not think you have anything to worry about. You took the antibiotic, and if it reduced the swelling then it is some type of infection dermatitis. Do not look for something that is probably not there.
Just keep an eye on the situation, and if they come back then follow up again.
