Q: Painful Armpit Lumps

I am 31 and since I was a teenager I have been getting lumps in my armpits on and off never lasting more than a week. I have them again on the both sides and they are painful like they always have been, but it seems they are bigger than any other time. They have come back since I had my 2nd child two months ago. Any information for me ? Thank you.

have your doctor check you for cat scratch fever. It is a real disease and it is treatable. If they remove the lymphnoids and give you antibiotics it will clear up.

Years ago, my mother got them all the time. She had them removed. They all turned out to be begine (sic) the doctor then came up with a conclusion that the cause was scented deoderants. She started using unscented products, and never again had any problems.

Worth a try, I guess!

Hi all I am 17 years old I have the same problem, I guess it started when I was 15, but I have not had one under my arm since about 3 months ago, I went to the doctor for them about 6 months ago and he said it was the deodrant I was using well I switched and I still got them, but I have not had one in three months and hopefully I want again.
