Misc Lump under my armpit

**luv** · 01:30 PM

Okay. For the past three or four months, whenever I shave, I've noticed that I have this lump underneath my right armpit that's about the size of a pea. I never paid it much attention, because it never hurt or anything. This evening, I noticed that it feels a bit bigger, and it's slightly sore to the touch. I decided to look it up on Google. I'm not liking what I'm reading. It's could be anything from bacterial to cancerous. Needless to say, I'm going to be making a doctor's appointment in the near future to get it checked out. I'm just a little freaked, I guess. Cancer has been really prevalent on my dad's side of the family.

EDIT: Doctor's appointment Thursday morning.

WTF have you waited 3 or 4 months to check it? Get it checked sooner rather than later. Could be as insignificant as a little mole, but it's better to know for sure. Don't wait around.

Probably a swollen lymph node. I'd see the doctor. Then again it may be nothing.

It's probably just a zit or something. I get those all the time. Pop the sonofabitch.

It's not a zit. Nothing showing outside of my skin.

I'd almost guarantee it's bacterial. Sensitive area, combined with shaving it makes that the likely choice. It couldn't hurt to get it checked, and you should err on the side of caution but I wouldn't freak out or anything.

When I was a young teenager I got 3 or 4 of those. Started small, later turned red and sore, so I just bore down on those ****ers. Man, a sight to see. Was one of the best pimple geysers you could ever see. Amazing what shit comes out of our bodies.

Not saying it is the same as I had 10 years ago, but nothing showed outside the skin then, either. just a huge lump under the skin that hurt like hell, so I got pissed and smashed the ****er.

I suggest you go see your doctor/capn obvious

If its bacterial atleast you can get medication to get rid of it

I get lots of pustules that don't show a head. Give it a squeeze.

You need to pop that pimple that is coming to a head on your shoulders.

I've been reading that whenever i do a breast exam, I should also check my armpits. I had never heard that before. But yeah, I'm definitely getting it checked out.

Probably it is nothing more than a sebaceous cyst, or a clogged sweat gland. By all means, get it checked out, though. Most of the time the lumps that are cause for concern (ie:lymph nodes) are not painful to the touch. And usually a bit larger. JMO
