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! =/

dont worry about it, I've had the same thing, and I know, it does hurt a lot. Im almost positive its from shaving, I've had one of them down there too and it is awful. Anyways, I didnt want to go to the doctor because more than likely they will try to drain it and that means cutting into it and I didnt want to go through that pain. I had mine for probably a week maybe even a little longer but it will in fact clear up on its own. I know it sucks and its painful but personally I would rather deal with it than endure the pain of the doctor poking and prodding it. Good luck hun.

I have the same problem!!I have one on my right armpit.
it hurts and now I had noticed that another lump is under my left armpit..

thank god...iam relieved... iam having a hard time with one under my left arm.. I just shaved but since I smoke , I thought it might be cancer or something... but its just because of shaving perhaps... iam 22 years old... and I dont think it might be cancer.. can anyone please advice mee... iam unable to lift my arm completely because its causing pain when I try to... is it just the lymph node or ...

I am 25 and the last time I had a sore swollen lump (lymph node) I went to the DR and they said they would do an x-ray. DONT settle for just an X-ray. I didnt, I got more than one opinion...I ended up having leukemia (for the 2nd time in my life) just be careful. my other symptoms were...excessive sleeping, throwing up, weakness like couldnt stand for a minute without feeling like I was going to faint, easily brusing and I developed some sort of temporary OCD with locking doors and checking them numerous times. dont get scared and dont settle for one answer, I would suggest a bone marrow biopsy (they hurt so try to get it done with anesthetics) or a biopsy of the lump (that I dont know if it hurts)

I'm agreeing with the people who said its a boil.. if its painful you can use a warm washcloth on it to sooth it.. this will also bring it to a head.. then you can squeeze out the infection.. after you do that, keep it clean and dry for a few days.. its like a zit.. it will go away.. if it comes back after you do this.. then see the doc.. there are medications you can take to keep them from coming back

you probably have a rizon itll be ok though

it is either a boil or a swollen lymphnode it should go away

ingrown hair or a pimple lol sounds weird but it happens

I had one of these under my left arm many many years ago, (about 40yrs ago) it was a boil, the dr. lanced it and did not sew it up but I bled a lot after I left the DR. office and had to go back to the dr. and got out of the car, and fainted from loss of blood before I could get to his door. the lab people found me...and he sewed it up...now here 40 years. later I have another one under the left arm again, in fact I have a large one for about a week and it hurts and now I have a smaller one, it does not hurt but probably will eventually.
I think it is a boil. I do not shave and I do not use deodorants. I started using caldesene powder or baking soda a year or so ago...will probably go to the dr. next week if it is still there... think it is best to be seen by a dr. just for safety sake if it is there for two weeks..

did you use someone else's deodorant or razor?
when someone else's body sweat or fluids come in contact wtih yours.. it causes a little cyst like thing.. I'm googling what they're called because I forgot haha.

If your in track it happends,
my friends in track im in volleyball ,
I've never gotten it but she told me about having one .

I can't believe some of these answers that people post here. If one is not a specialist in medicine don't pretend that you are one. Some of the comments posted here are enough to worry a person sick.
Please think twice before making a post!
