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! =/

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.

I think you have the Bubonic Plague.

it may just be razor burn

I get them all the time! they are nothing to worrie about!
they go away in a couple of days!

might be a staphlo infection

Have you had your tonsils removed?

Since I had mine out 10 years ago I often get sore lumps under my left arm (never the right, strangely). Its just swollen glands due to infections.

I used to have real trouble with my tonsils, hence they were removed and now I have it in the glands of my arms. You might just be like me and have very sensitive glands.

Its sore but your not dying!

I got a bump jus couple days ago under my right armpit, and it went away, and just today I got it on my left armpit. I looked up on the web, sayin it was jus a swollen lymph node gland thingy or watever. wow kinda sore ah hahaha. im glad I read up on all you guys tings. im not worried anymore. because yes, I do shave. also, I jus switched my deodarant too. I use to use secret, and now I switched to dove. culd that be da cause too??? damn I have more reasons why. culd be any of um. because it also says that vaccinations can cause something like that too right? I jus got da gardasil vacine..culd that be it? but maybe not. because I got da first lump couple of days before I got vaccinated. so maybe it isnt. I dont know. what you all think??

I just had a bad lump under my right armpit too. it developed a head to it on the surface of the skin and I squeezed it and it actually popped bigtime but man was it sore to do so, hurt like heck, and I think it must have been some kind of bad pimple/boil and gave some swelling to the glands in my right pit but it seems to be less sore now and seems like it is calming and should fade soon. at first I wondered if it was a cyst or something worse but looks like it was either an infection leading to the pimple causing the swelling but yes was very sore and now the soreness is lessening for sure.

it is probably a swollen gland. I sometimes get them right after I shave. hope this helped.

It could have been a large pimple or boil like others are saying. Two years ago I got one under my armpit and I didn't know what it was. At first I thought it was cancer, and so I started freaking out. Then (when I got my brain back) I decided to look it up online. I read about the lymph nodes and so I assumed it was just that and left it alone. Well, this thing didn't go away, it just got bigger and more painful. It never came to a head for some reason. By the time it was larger than a quarter the doctor finally got to look at it. Well, actually the nurse looked at it first. Right off the bat she told me it was a boil, but she had the doctor come in just to check it out. He said it was a boil too. It was so large (and deep) that they had to actually cut it open and lance it so that it would heal. It hurt really bad, smelled horrible, and was really annoying because of how often I had to get it repacked. The only plus side to it was that I got out of any heavy exercise for P.E. (because the doctor didn't want me sweating). We figured out it must have been either because of the deoderant I was using (it was a gel based formula rather than powder based) or because of an ingrown hair or a combination of the two.
It could be nothing or it could be something. Either way if it starts to grow and hurts like heck, I would get to a doctor right away to have them check it out before it gets too big. Trust me it's not pretty even now I have a scar from the cut they had to make to drain it and a couple of months afterwards I ended up getting a yeast infection type thing under there. Not pretty.

this same thing happened to me a few days ago.. I was really concerned about it and afraid it was cancer but today when I woke up it was gone. the chances of it actually being harmful are very slim so if I were you I would wait about a week and if it doesn't clear up tell a doctor

I think to be on the safe side you should consult your doctor. You never know it could be something more serious!

hahah! its an infected hair peoplee

Do you shave frequently? This could be a hair that's trapped causing the lump. You should go see a doctor to bust the lump, don't try busting it yourself.

um. I've had a lump under my wrm many times. my mom told me when I was young it was from sharing deodarent. but I dont do that anymore. so its bigger than a pea and it hurts like shite. so I want to know what 2 do 2 because I get them frequently

GET TO A DOCTOR

It may be breast cancer

Ok, here's an easy way to tell the difference between cancer and a boil. . .cancerous tumors usually grow very slowly and they are hard. . .if that thing grows to the size of a quarter in the middle of the night, you have yourself a boil/abscess. They have names like folliculitis and cellulitis if you want to get fancy. I got 2 over the summer that wouldn't go away and had to be lanced, packed, and I had to be put on antibiotics. These little infections can be staph and if treated improperly, may lead to introduction of staph to your bloodstream which can lead to serious complications.
Now, rest assured, lancing it isn't much fun but once you get over the numbing medicine (which hurts like hell), it's a much quicker way to get rid of the lump and resume life.

its probably like a boil or something... or it could be an abbsess( pocket full of puss) try get a wet hot towel and put it on the sore spot... it will make it soft so it brings the liquid up to the surface so you can get rid of it... it should form a head so you can pop it... just keep it clean and just put heat on it...

hope this helped=)
