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.
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.
1307813 tn?1273367482 It could be an ingrown hair follicle, or it could be something much more serious as your lymph nodes are located there. I would see a doctor and ask if it hasn't disappeared after a week. Nothing is worse than having an unknown lump that causes you concern. I am no expert, but my doctor has always told me, the bumps or lumps that are painless are the ones that he worries about.

550509 tn?1214921564 I woke up this morning and noticed that i have a lump in my armpit...now, i've never had this happen to me, i'm now 24 years old. This is rather startling, i'm not sure if it's caused by stress or what the deal is, but is it this something i need to be concered about?
Avatar m tn Hello, for a few weeks i have developed a pea size lump on my right armpit. it is not right under the armpit but it is right beside the area. it is noticeable but not painful, also it is not reddened but just the same as my skin colour. im in good health i believe and only fourteen at the moment, i'm not sure what to do, do you have an idea of what this lump may be and what should i do about it. Thank you.
Avatar f tn About a month 1/2 - 2 months ago, I had a large, painful lump in my armpit, I assumed it was an ingrown hair, and it eventually popped after a weeks or so with much pressure applied, as it was getting very sore (it ended up about the size of a small marble) and some thicker/dryer looking pus came out. I now have a large lump on my genitals, in the area above you vagina where hair grows. I do shave, if that matters.
Avatar f tn Hi...I have an infected gland in my right armpit area. I went to the doctor three days ago who put me on an antibiotic. The "lump" measured 7cm by 5cm. She said I should notice a decrease in size within a couple of doses if the antibiotic was going to work...I haven't...it's still as uncomfortable and annoying as it was before I went. Next steps would be to have an ultrasound to see exactly what we're dealing with and then have it surgically removed.
Avatar n tn t know if it is the same problem my husband has or not, but he has had lumps appear and disappear in his armpits as well, it was a collection of puss due to an ingrown hair or something, it stunk to high heaven when getting the thick white pasty stuff out, but healed up quickly and went away, his was red and very sore to start with as well, it was movable and did not seem to be attached to anything, if it is not movable or seems to be attached to something (underlying tissue), you should probab
Avatar m tn Then 3 3 weeks later returned only there where several very painful. Teven in my armpit several very painful. Now I get them up in pubic area as well. I have been to doctor taken blood and culture test and don't know what it is. Its getting where they show up every 2/3 weeks.
Avatar f tn ve had this lump under my skin on the top of my vagina in my pubic hair area of my vagina closer to the right side of it. When I first got it, it was medium size and not painful at all. I shaved probably less than a week before this lump popped up and I want to say its an ingrown hair but Im not sure. It doesnt have a head to it like a pimple would but its slightly lighter than my skin tone. The current size of it is probably slightly larger than a quarter.
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 f tn Im a 24 yr old female, normally healthy and active. I have a lump in my armpit the size of a large marble. I noticed it 4 days ago and thought it was just an ingrown hair. I can't find a hair and its been getting larger and more painful every day. I tried to pop it, but it wouldn't pop, only made it more sensitive. It's underneath the skin, is hot and throbbing, and the surrounding skin has become sensitive.
Avatar m tn I just shaved my armpit in the shower and noticed that a little lump had suddenly appeared. It's very tender to touch and feels like its under the skin. I'm not sure if it's pink because i've been prodding it or not but I am worried. Help?
Avatar m tn I am a 27 year old female who is not currently sexually active and I do not have any STD's. (I am screened often). This morning I woke up feeling some tenderness on the outer 'lips' of my vagina. I checked and there is a swollen, tender, lump. It is not a sore, there is not discharge from it or me. It is under the skin and does not have a 'head' on it. It isn't terribly painful but it is sore. I can push it and it moves around under the skin.
Avatar n tn The swelling may have indicated an allergy to the deodorant, but the lump ... there is only one. Maybe a cyst, an ingrown hair, an injury to that breast. I don't know. Swollen lymph glands point to something else. Maybe its related to puberty?? It wouldn't hurt to get this checked out by your doctor.
Avatar n tn I waited about a few weeks, before using a needle and a tweezer to remove the ingrown hair, ever since removing the ingrown hair, the lump subsided, but it left a red patch in that area, and its been like this for a month or 2, it doesn't hurt and it isn't lumpy. Its just a red patch from the ingrown hair, and the patch is about 1cm in diameter. I tried applying acne cream to the area, but the redness doesn't seem to fade or get any better.
