Q: Lump Underarm And Upper Thigh
asked by: spindis22 on May 17th, 2005

I have a large lump under my armpit that hurts a lot. I have had similar ones before and they (seemed to) turn out to be pimples since they either went down or (more recently) popped. I have a similar lump on my upper thigh that hurts a lot. I thought it was just a pimple too so I tried to squeeze it but it just hurts more now. Ive been doing tons of research online but am just worrying myself crazy b/c all I keep seeing is "cancer" "lymphoma", etc. I am eventually going to the doctor, obviously, but im away at school right now and am trying to see if it will just go away...

Does anyone think they might know what this is?

Lump Underarm And On Upper Thigh
Yes, get it checked. I had one a couple of yrs ago...The dr took a sample of the pus to found out what kind of an infection I had and then put me on antibiotics...No problems.

Hello my name is rosa.My fiance just had one (well some).They are ingrown hairs.He had one on his neck and one on his thigh and a couple on his ancle.At first we thought they where mosquito bites.But days went by and they began to bother him they where hurting bad.They where hard around it and it was red aroung the lump he popped the one on his thigh and puss came out he messed with it and a large thing pf puss came out that left him a small hole on his leg(the puss was the head of the lump).We got scared so he went to the hospital they told him that they where boils.And that they are ingrown hair that they mostly come out on underarms and places where you mostly shave.They gave him some antibiotics.He went back the next day cause he could not take the pain so they opened them and cleaned all the inside.It left him a hole on all of then and they told him that they would close by their own but as long as they where opened he had to clean the inside with a q-tip.But you dont have to go to the doctor you can soak them with a hot rag and clean them evryday.


You can also buy a medecine over the counter its call boil ease (or something like that) and bacitracin.This medicine will help for them to pop and when they do you got t aqueez it.

Yeah it sounds like boils to me too.

Hot tea bags pull it out. Feels like it is pulling as soon as you put it on.

Cool though, it works. I had one on my mound one time, talk about hurt!!
