Lump in armpit region
Common Questions and Answers about Lump in armpit region
lump
I am a 34 year old male. About 3 months ago I noticed a lump in my left armpit, it was only noticeable to the touch, not visible. At that time, it was round, about the size of a nickle, and hard, but did not hurt. I ignored it because my family had been sick, and I figured swollen lymph node.
I also have dropped about 30 lbs without any significant effort in the last 6 months, not sure if this is related, but a data point.
I saw my PCP about 2 weeks ago.
Yesterday I experienced some discomfort in my armpit region. I felt around, and it felt as though there was a pea stuck under my skin. I looked in the mirror, but you couldn't see the lump, just a red sore.
After a few hours, after poking and prodding it quite a bit, it hurt a lot more. It was painful to stretch. I couldn't sleep properly, as I couldn't lie on my side.
The lump is stationary, and can't be moved.
, 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.
Throughout the course of last week until today, two more similar lumps developed under my left armpit area. In addition, I discovered today a small, but not painful, lump on the neck, about an inch below my right earlobe. Although I have not experienced any other ARS symptoms such as rashes, fever, etc, I was wondering if I should be worried about the lymph nodes swelling in my armpit/neck areas as a result of ARS?
It sounds like you might have a lymph node in the axillary region (armpit area). This is often reactive (e.g., secondary to infection and/or inflammation), but can also be pathologic (e.g., metastasis secondary to breast, lymphoma, or other cancer). If it does not improve/resolve, you should see your doctor who may order imaging such as targeted 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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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
