lump

Avatar f tn Earlier this week my 21 year old daughter discovered an extremely painful lump on are right armpit. She discovered it during a shower and again it was extremely tender to yhe touch. Keep in mind, we were overseas when this is happening. Called a doctor friend who thought it could be an aggravated hair follicle or such. Next morning, the lump is MUCH better, less tender but then the other armpit starts bothering her.
1298701 tn?1286986994 first i didnt think any of those are wrong till recently i start research about my lump on armpit. i just thought lymphoma but now i am worried its something else because of this bruises. since i have 3kids i cant really tell i am fatigue. but yes i get really tired all the time just by doing simple thing such as washing dishes and cleaning. i want to lay down all the time because i am so tired all the time. i dont have fever, but i do have hot flash during night time and chills.

I went to my doctor who thought it was probably mastitis because it was so close to the surface of the skin. He recommended warm damp compresses on my breast several times a day for two weeks. He said if it didn't help then I should see a surgeon. It did not go away so I went to see a general surgeon.
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 n tn The lump under my armpit is 3" long by 1" wide. It does not hurt when I press and freely move my hand around the lump and it is not hard. I had a CT scan done this past Thursday and will meet with my doctor to see the results on Monday. My doctor will also have me do an MRI scan before he does a biopsy. I noticed yesterday another lump is beginning to form on my other armpit.
1939607 tn?1324289300 I called my doctor and told him the whole story and he is of the opinion that the skin irritation has caused the lump and the pain. He told me that lymphoma causes larger lumps that are painful to the touch. Also, he said that it is usually accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue, fevers, anorexia etc. I am not convinced though. Can something so simple as a skin irritation because of deodorant/shaving cause a lump? I am scared to death and I don't know how to treat it.
Avatar f tn The inflamed skin may lead to secondary infection of the hair follicles in the armpit, resulting in folliculitis, which manifests as lumps under the arm. Lymph nodes around the area may also become swollen because of the infection. This also may appear as lumps.
Avatar n tn I had hodgkins lymphoma in 2001 and I had severe pain in my right armpit area with a growing lump. I couldnt even lower my arm without any pain. If your having pain and no noticeable lump it might just be an infection of the lypmhnodes or other less serious situation, but if you feel like that area has a lump that was not there before PUSH your doctor into checking further, thats what I had to do.
Avatar m tn ll have to excuse me, I am becoming somewhat of a hypochondriac these days, but this lump has been in this location for nearly a year, if not over a year. I should have paid it more attention then I admit, but for some reason it would only cross my mind for a while and I would tend to other matters. Recently, my lump crossed my mind and I did some research. And lymphoma is concerning me. I looked up the symptoms and I'm afraid I have several of them.
1298701 tn?1286986994 recently i notice that i have lump in the right armpit. i had soft tissue looks swallen for couple years but not the hard ones. when i touch inside of my armpit its moveable and its sore. i went to the doctor and they order me biopsy so now i am waiting for my appointment. but today i recently notice pea size lump under my left armpit. and this one is hard. do i have to concern about this more? and prepare for the result of biopsy?
Avatar m tn Itchy, lethargic and hard lump in armpit could point toward a serious cause, but if the lump went away I am not really sure. I hope you find an answer here. Don't want to scare you but, lymphoma has these symptoms. Of course that doesn't mean he has it. Fever and night sweats would also accompany though and the lump in the armpit would persist not go away. You posted in the cancer community is there a specific reason for this?
Avatar m tn Ive got a squishy moveable lump in the right side of my neck, cervical area, doesnt hurt. Ive got tender ones under my chin but cannot feel lumps, its just tender in that area. Ive got three on the right side of my groin, dont hurt, little bit moveable, quite firm, had ultrasound on these and it just showed enlarged lymph nodes. Bloods are normal, although not sure what bloods they did??

Avatar f tn I would like to ask something. I recently discovered a lump on my armpit 2 months ago. Its small and a bit painful when i touch it. Last week i thought it was already gone but today its back again. Do you think its a sign of cancer? What should I do? I hope you can help me. Thank you.
919623 tn?1258154330 I have been terribly sick, for months now I have run fevers, lost my appetite and I do have a lump but it is hard under my left armpit and a few of those in between my breasts. The mammogram was negative, blood work normal. I get these really really red patches on my face, neck and arms at times. I thought it was my blood pressure until the doctor said something the other day. He said he was concerned because the lymph node has not gone down and because of the weight loss.
Avatar n tn Probably the main symptom of lymphoma is painless swelling of the glands or lymphnodes- in the neck, armpit, or groin. However swollen glands can be the cause of something more common such as an injury or and infection. If a gland appears hard and not movable then it's time to see a doctor. Other symptoms include weight loss, severe itching, fever, and drenching night sweats. I personally I have never seen lymphoma associated with back or neck pain.
Avatar f tn I am worrying about the hard lump in muscle under armpit. thumping pain in my right hand, arm, neck and jaws. Tingle and feel tight in my hand and fingers. Headache and fever.. feeling hot at nights... Please tell me if anyone got this similar systoms..I am seeing the doctor tomorrow. I am scared..
Avatar f tn Yes, lymphoma nodes would usually continue growing. Did they pop up almost overnight? Did you have some irritation in that underarm area that started things off? (The itching is probably due to histamine, btw.
Avatar n tn I have had this lump under my armpit for 6 months now and i dont think it has got an bigger in size. The lump isnt red and doesnt feel rock hard. They are painless and only ache slightly when i start touching them, think im just irritating them. Ive had what feels like the same thing behind my ear for 5 years. If i had lymphoma would i have noticed at this stage? I have no other symptoms and feel fine.

1348086 tn?1370783185 About a month ago I felt a pea size lump under my left arm pit. It finally went away but then one came up under my right arm pit, about the same size. So, I changed deodorants. It went away. Now, I have a different one (different area) under my left armpit. It is hard and shallow and about the size of a pea and hurts to touch. I remember being sick with something about 6 years ago and my neck lymph nodes swelling and it didn't feel like this.
Avatar n tn You can get a mammography doneā€”but before that get a gynecologist to examine your breasts for a lump. If there is no lump in the breast, it cannot be biopsied. Unexplained weight loss can also be due to STDs like HIV. So if you have a history of unprotected sex, then this is what you should test for. Neck swelling can also be due to goiter or thyroid enlargement. Get this checked out.
Avatar m tn I suspect a low grade non-hodgkin lymphoma but i am just 13 and developing a low-grade lymphoma at 13 is very very rare,still...anyone who can help...I have one cervical swollen lymph node in right side..i can feel another one,which is not swollen at the left side...
Avatar f tn I have had a lump in the right armpit for about 6 months. There is swelling , that goes up and down, but marginally. There is no redness and I have been taking 3 lots of antibiotics which has not done anything. I was refered to another gyn and has decieded that I need a scan, as he is not sure. On the scan sheet he placed Lympholma ? . What does that mean. Also my right breast has a very large flat area of which I do not have on he left side.
Avatar f tn It is not bad, just enough for me to notice. I also noticed that there is a lump in the middle of my armpit. My L armpit does not have this. Could this just be a swollen lymph node?
