Lump in armpit lymph nodes
Common Questions and Answers about Lump in armpit lymph nodes
lump
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).
s painful to touch...
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 am a survivor of breast cancer. Five years ago I discovered a lump underneath my left armpit initially not painfull. Was diagnosed with breast cancer, I had a lumpectomy and 15 out of 24 lymph nodes were found to be cancerous and removed, chemo, rads & tamoxifen. I have now had a double mastectomy and re constructive surgery.
Recently over the past few weeks I have been experiencing a pain in the same area of my armpit it comes and goes with a general aching that lasts.
Hello,
Groin lumps and armpit lump are swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small (1-2cm) and bean-shaped nodes.Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Other causes include allergic reactions, arthritis, cancer, metabolic diseases, and an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
In sinusitis, the glands in the neck are most likely to swell—a common response to a cold or upper respiratory infection or allergies.
hi, i get tested for hiv after 9 months of possible exposure and test came negative . but now after 16 months after possible exposure 'm feeling a pain in armpit lump area. this pain suddenly comes and go but it is constant in both armpits. does it swollen lymph??? should i get test again for hiv? i've some kind of rashes on my back too. please tell me about armpit pain causes.
These places are very common areas where lymph nodes can swell to the point of being able to feel a lump, but not always. The occasional ache I feel is also in these areas but I don't ever feel a lump either. My guess is it's the capsule around the lymph node that is stretching as it fights a bug. Pay attention to how you feel next time you feel the ache and see if you also feel run down.
I hope you are able to get some answers soon.
but a week later i developed a singe large lump under my LEFT armpit i think mainly because i irritated the skin and it had the same structure as the previous lumps
My question is would i be at risk of HIV infection as i am currently feeling anxious and nervuous about lymph node swelling and everything else a reply would be great thankyou
Hello,
For the past few years (three or so) I have had small lumps in my earlobes. Although they have never fully disappeared, the size of them changes quite often. One week they might be inflamed and painful to the touch and the next they could be very small and unnoticeable. About half a year ago I noticed that I had a few small, soft lumps on my neck. At that time I decided it would be best to have my physician have a look.
is it central armpit? because breast pain isnt normally in ur armpit because the lymph nodes are usually only on the edge of the armpit and if it was a breast related problem that was giving u armpit pain then ur lymph nodes would probably be swollen. has ur actual breast been hurting? if it has regularly, then go back to the docs and say your still worried. but at ur age breasts may get more tender at certain times of the month etc, usually before periods.
The common cause of swelling in armpit is enlarged lymph nodes. Cysts and infections of the armpits can also cause enlarged lymph nodes in armpit. Other causes of armpit lump are cat scratch disease, lipomas, infectious mononucleosis, lymphomas and breast cancer. Vertigo can be caused by inner ear problems, neck injury; migraine etc.You should see a primary care physician. After a general examination your doctor may refer you to the concerned specialist based on the clinical findings.
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.
s likely a small infection somewhere in her body and her lymph nodes are now swollen as they are fighting off the infection. I'd take her to her primary doctor, they'll likely give her an antibiotic or just tell you to keep an eye on it. Probably nothing serious, but just to be on the safe side, let them take a look.
I have a lump in my armpit that I think has been there for a while. I know for sure I saw it a month ago, but went through 2 surgeries (unrelated?) and that was my last concern - I thought it was a muscle. It has never been painful, red, 'angry' or anything else. I think it's gotten a little bigger, but if it has, it hasn't grown much at all.
Last week I went to my doctor and showed it to her.
