I have had a lump in my armpit for almost 3 years now, and have been to two doctors...what's up?
I had it checked out by a doctor in February of 2006, and she told me it was probably the result of shaving. I was then told to apply a hot wash cloth to it every day/night, so I did. My doctor said that it should either heal on its own or should form a boil like head that could be drained, but neither happened.
So I finally saw another doctor in November of 2006, and was told basically nothing, because she couldn't really feel a lump.
It hurts a heck of a lot sometimes, and itches like crazy other days, and I can only clearly feel it when I kind of pinch or pull it "out" of my armpit area, and it has grown/spread to be about the size of an enlarged grape or cherry. I do have another appointment on 7/16, so I'll see what the doc says then.
I have also recently switched to a deodorant without aluminum, and have read up on lumps on the internet.
Any help/suggestions out there?
Answer:
My co worker had that happen to him it was a sisst he had to have it drained they stabbed a large neddle into it and sucked all the crap out of it he said it was the most painfull thing he has ever had done.
sounds like a cyst. This girl at work has one on her hand and its just like a lump on her hand. looks like a grape under skin.
You have a swollen lymph node. You needn't to touch it, when you shave and apply deoderant be sensitive around that area. If you leave it alone it should go away farily quickly. If it hurts take tylenol or ibuprofen...hope it helps!
