Misc Lump under my armpit - Page 7

**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.

I think Fraz was impregnated by a facehugger...and had a miscarriage.

Last year I operated on a roommate who had a buzzed haircut and wound up with an ingrown hair on his scalp that went painful. I got a needle, got it out slightly, then treated him with alternating periods of a warm washrag and an icecube. Not too shabby for a then political science major.

My brother had a huge lump under the armpit once, turned out to be a swollen lymph node that they had to remove. Wasn't serious, hopefully its just something like that.

You need to see a doctor of course just to make sure but I get the same things on a fairly regular basis. The lymph nodes in your armpits can evidently be agitated by things like dental work and changes in deodorant. It can also be symptomatic of Hodkins Lymphoma so best to be sure and have a doctor check you out. At the very least you'll have peace of mind.

Good luck!

it could be a cyst. keloid(sp?) or some sort. I have one and it got bigger over time. I think of it as my pet. lol Most causes are from ingrown hairs or squeezing a zit and it goes in instead of leaking out. MMMMM I know.

They're not cancerous, but tissue grows abnormally and you can get them removed. Either by injection of some sort of medicine or have it cut out. Its a quick procedure. I visited a dermatologist and they explained it to me. I recommend getting it cut out. The injection ****ing hurts afterwards and requires a few visits to have the injection.

Five bucks says its a benign fatty cyst/tumor in the lymph nodes under your armpit. That being said, its good to see a doctor.

I don't know what it is, but, if they can remove it, I'm all for it. It's feels funny, it looks funny (not that anyone sees it but me), and having it makes me nervous. More nervous than I like admitting.

I got one on my arm(tiny), back of my leg(tiny), and on my chest(medium). I don't mind admitting it. Hell it's healthy talking about it. It gets others to know what to look for.

Johnny Vegas · 03-01-2009, 11:54 PM

BTW the one on my chest is the most irritated because my shirts rub on it all day. Quit messin' with it and worry about it when you're with the doc. No sense in losing sleep and thinking up crazy thoughts all night.
