Lump under arm pit

I found a pea sized lump under my arm pit this morning, it is very sore but there are no signs of being bitten by an insect. Pleaseee help! =/

Was there any other areas of swelling like in your neck of groin areas? What you discribed in your post is usualy a sign of a swollen lympth node. They are located in the arm, neck, under the chin and groin area. They are your infection collectors. I agree that if any swelling appears in other areas or flu like symptoms appear you should go to your doctor right away. But if there is any enlargement of the swelling you do need to seek medical advice. It is better to err on the side of caution. Most times from what you discribed is just an inflamed lympth node. But it should still be watched and checked out to make sure.

this may sound funny but did you just shave..... some times when you shave u get a spot under the skin that can be really sore and wont look like a bite, just goes red, if so it will go away in a few days if not go see your doctor but i would not worry to much

I could also be a syst, but the best thing to do would be to go see a doctor as soon as possible, you never know, it could be early signs of cancer. I'm not trying to scare you, but you need to find out what it is.

yes it could be a cyst or more likely a swollen gland

If it doesn't disappear in a day or two, go to your doctor. Go sooner if you've been having flu-like symptoms.

I've gotten a lump under my arm in the past from using a cheap brand of deodorant. Tussy does it everytime I've ever tried to use it.

What is the link with flu like symptoms? I have a very tender right arm pit and can feel a lump under the skin, I also have been sneezing and bringing up lots of yellow phlegm?

If it itches it might be a sign of a staff infection. Go to your doc.

im 15 years old and im a male and i just got bak from push bike riding and i took my t-shirt off to discover that there was a small lunp around the size of a small marball under my skin...and it almost seams like a massive pimple under my skin...sould i be concernd?

I discovered a lump the same as you are all describing on the side of my jaw the other day so I went to see my doctor today and my friend has had the same thing but under her armpit like it is side above. You have no need to be worried it is just a swollen gland and apparently cannot be treated but it will go on it's own. If you find it painful then just take some pain killers. But if the lump is still there in a couple of weeks and you are still concerned I would go and see your doctor. Hope this helps x

could be an ingown hair.

It's a boil/cyst. Calm down, it is a result of the hair follicle being infected, so one of your hair follicles under your arm is infected which caused the swelin ; the boil. It will disappear in a couple of days

I had lumps under both arms when I was pregnant and it was an infection my baby had a bowel movement inside of me I had a slight fever and didn't feel that good

Calm down. I've gotten the same thing. It's fine. Squeeze it to see if anything comes out. If nothing comes out, try once every morning. Eventually, I got a lot of stuff out of it. It was kind of gross, but it helped. I did that and mine is practically gone now. I assume mine will be gone in the next few days.

u might have catscrach fever
it has nothing to do with having a fever I dont know why its called that? but I had it once and it kill it might be what you have it might not.

it could be a kind of plague..no seriously, go see a doctor!

I get them all the time. They are pea sized like you said and pretty hard which would give the assumption of cyst. I asked my doctor when I started to get nervous about getting them and honestly...its just from shaving. Its a large pimple basically. Its like having those extrememly painful pimples on your face that are just impossible to pop. If you're still worried, I would go see a doctor anyway just to be sure. But im sure you're ok. take care.

well this happens to me as well it just goese away so you will be fine! if it doese not go away within a week then you should go see your doc!

Nothing is wrong with you, you probably had a minor bacteria infection. Under your arm is one of the places where the lymph nodes are located, they are similar to that of the white blood cells which attack bacteria and engulf them, eliminating bacteria build up in the body. You probably used someone else's razor, or someone used yours unbeknownst to you, which caused their bacteria to infect you. It's perfectly normal, give it a couple of days and it will go down, the lymph node is just swollen because it is digesting the bacteria to save you.
