Misc Lump under my armpit - Page 6

Quesadilla Joe · 03-01-2009, 09:46 PM

I had something similar to that 6 months ago and eventually it grew to half the size of a golf ball and it was really sore...I scheduled a doctors appointment for the next day, and then that night it popped. He said it was boil caused by an infected hair follicle.

Might want to get it checked out just in case. He gave me some antibiotics for a staph infection.

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.

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

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.

In other words it could get in the way whenever you end up becoming a world-famous lingerie model? :-)

I understand. Btu try not to worry until you know something for sure. I've had one of those also, and I'm pretty sure about 99.9% of them are no biggie.

So if you're gonna flip, you can only flip about .1% of what you really want to.
