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?
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 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 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 Hi, I had a baby in 2010. My little man stopped nursing early on so I started pumping milk to feed him. When my little man was about 4 months old I had the pleasant experience of battling yeast on my breast. They itched and were sore almost the entire time I pumped for my little man. The yeast infection never went away with meds or creams.
Avatar f tn So ive just noticed a lump in my right armpit. I know it can be glands etc and nothing to worry about. But people have told me it shouldnt hurt and it is. Not extremely painful but enough to irritate me and remember its there. You can also notice it by just looking. I will be making a doctors appointment for at the end of the week but just wanna know if I should worry or not.
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 m tn I noticed the irregularity in my skin soon afterwards. The lump hasnt increased in size but it wont go away either. Any thoughts??....thanks.
Avatar f tn I have a golfball sized lump in my armpit doesnt cause me any pain but ive been pukimg everyday and very nauseous I also keep getting a sore on my inner lip getting worried please help.
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'm very concerned... I noticed a couple years back a lump in my right armpit, I believe where the lymphnodes are. But, I felt maybe I was being too cautious considering my best friend who was only 33years old was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is a survivor but is alway concerned with me. I have no health insurance anymore due to my husband losing his job. And recently I've been experiencing pain where the lump is and my nipple are scaling and peeling on that side.
Avatar f tn hi im 41yr old female. i found a lump 3 weeks ago in my armpit it doesnt hurt, been to the doctors who has refered me to hospital for test as she doesnt know if its cancer or not just by feeing it. i go next wednesday. iv convinced myself that it is bad news, iv got no lumps anywhere else, doctor checked my breasts, im worried to death. my neck and shoulders are aching aswell but hopefully i think thats just tension and stress from worrying, iv got no history of breast cancer in the family.
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 I have had a lump in my armpit for a month. I have had one round of antibiotics and a CT scan that showed a swollen lymph node in the breast tissue. Should I be worried? I have an appointment with a surgeon next week...
Avatar f tn I already have a dcis and idc diagnosis. My right breast has always been a little smaller than the left. I always attributed it to uneven nursing. Lately tho my right has appeared MUCH smaller. I can even tell thru clothing wearing a bra. I had an excisional biopsy recently but it was on the side near my armpit and there is no dimple from the surgery. The breast just seems "emtier" in the cleavage area if you know what I mean.
Avatar f tn I just wanted to add one more thing.A lump in the armpit could also be a swollen lymph node that appears because on an infection somewhere in the body and you are not to be too concerned about it.Make sure to keep your appointment with your doctor though..Take care.
Avatar f tn I have a 14 year old daughter. Two days ago she said she had a lump in her right armpit and that it was tender. You could not see it and you could barely feel it. Last night she said the right armpit did not hurt anymore but her left one does. I can definately see this lump and feel it also. I read on the internet it could be hormones, cysts, etc.... Should I give it a day or two to see if it goes down or, God forbid gets bigger, go to the doctor now?
