painful lump in armpit symptoms

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 am a 46 y/o woman with a painful lump under my left armpit too. I have very deep pain in this area if any one hugs me on my left side or I palpate the area. I have had a mammogram, and they are doing an mri because I do have some swelling of my lymph tissue, any body else experience anything like this?

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.

I have a very painful lump between my right armpit and on the side of my right breast. This has occurred very suddenly. What is my next step?

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.

My friend had a lump in her armpit once, it was a staph infection from a razor. It was very painful to her and got pretty huge. She had to hold her arms up it was so painful.

I am 47 year old female and noticed a small lump in my armpit was sore and decided that it was a bug bit however I now have another one in almost the exact same area under my other armpit. Should I be concerned?

hello. my boyfriend discovered a painful lump in his armpit last night that has me deeply concerned. he is 23 years old and has not been sick or ill for the past few months. the lump is solid but moveable; and approximately the size of a penny. also there is quite a bit of drainage. he wants me to help him drain it (which i don't mind) but i'm anxious to do so. i don't want to make it worse, or spread the infection.

I noticed the irregularity in my skin soon afterwards. The lump hasnt increased in size but it wont go away either. Any thoughts??....thanks.

So I started researching and researching, I came across symptoms of breast cancer (lump in armpit, painful joint if it has spread...etc. ). I started getting health anxiety, checking my breast all the time and lo and behold my breast are lumpy, the left one seemed a little bit lumpier than the right, however, most lumps were still bilateral. My mind raced, lumps in the breast, thickened armpit, shoulder soreness...yup, I bet I have cancer.

I have the same exact thing. Huge painful lump in my armpit and one on my labia majora. Dr said they were ingrown hairs that got infected. Have me on antibiotics, lanced the lump in my armpit and gave me a shot of cortisone in the labia majora. I'm in more pain than with three c-sections. Dr said they could be being caused by hormonal changes and being stressed will make it worse. Have to go back in two weeks. So yes, sounds like they are probably related.

There may or may not be any connection between the issue with the lump in your armpit and the nipple problem. First of all, there is no way that you can see the milk ducts in the breast; they are inside the tissue and lead to the nipple. You are probably looking at the small bumps all around the base of the nipple which are Montgomery's Glands.

o also i should have said cancer is not usually painful to start with, and symptoms include lump, discharge/blood, change in breast size/shape/colour, and im guessing coz u dont have any of the symptoms thats why they said its nothing.

A few days ago, I noticed a small lump under my right arm (on my right armpit). It wasn't painful at that time, but when I touched it while taking a bath, it started getting painful after that. Right now there are 2 lumps, one above the other on my right armpit, about 1.7cm by 1.3 cm, oval-shaped. The top one is slightly smaller than the bottom one. They are causing me pain whenever I move my arm, lean on my right side or lift my arm.

I remember checking the condom for signs of breakage, and I am sure that it did not break. About a week ago, I noticed a somewhat painful lump under my left armpit. It was tender and slightly painful to the touch, and was about the size of a pea. 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.

Hi. I'm 14 years old... and this lump under my right armpit is bothering me. It's painful that's why I searched some home remedies. I tried hot compress. It worked... after 1 week, the pain is gone but I'm curious why my lump doesn't go away. Right now, the lump is smaller and I can barely feel it. but when I take a bath, I can feel that there's still a lump. It's been 2 weeks since it first appeared but it still doesn't go away.

I am 27 years old and have found a hard pea size lump in my right breast almost in my armpit area. It is painful and tender to the touch. Also I have had discharge from my nipples that is a yellow/green color, I had a child almost 2 years ago and don't know if it is possible that I may still be producing milk. I have not breastfeed in over a year. The discharge is from the same breast were I have found the lump. Is this something that I should be concerened about?

I have a quarter size lump in my armpit and I am breastfeeding, but I am positive it is not there because my milk is backed up. It has been since I was pregnant with my second child, now my third child is 8 months old (I have breastfed all of them) and it is still there. It is not painful, but it does seem to have been getting bigger lately. Any ideas on what this could be?

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.
