Armpit Lumps Still There. ^^
Posted: 12-13-06 12:36pm

Yep.
I posted a thing ages ago saying I had a lump.
Well I went docs and he said it was a ingrown hair. Its been months now.

Still there, but doesn't really hurt that much.
Isn't growing tbh.
I don't know whether I should go backk to the docters.
I've seen theese posts about infections.
Its much bigger than pea size .
Is it an infection?

I'm fifteen and I recently found a small (smaller than a pea) lump in my left armpit...At first it hought it was just a massive pimple because when I squeezed it, pus came out. I hve left it alone for a while now (maybe a few weeks?) and its still there. I've done some research and found a lot of stuff about breast/cancer and i'm worried like crazy. Does anybody have any accurate answers? Note that this lump does not hurt (a sign for breast cancer?!?), and I haven't found any lumps around/on my breasts.

I think i'l lbe visitng the doctor soon, but I don't want to if it isn't as bad as I think it is.

Lymph Node Lumps
Posted: 02-16-07 23:16pm

I am 27 and I have 3 lumps in my lymph nodes; 2 on my right side and one on my left side. I am also having breast pain along with the lumps. I have been to the doctor and they say I don't have an infection or hair problem. I am waiting to go see another doctor about the lumps and breast pain. Just wanted to see if anyone is having this problem too. Thanks.

I'm a Guy and I have a lump under my right armpit.. at first I thought it was a spot or something like that and ignored it. It's been there for about a week now and I was lying in bed then tryin 2 sleep when I put my hand there sleepily and realized it wasn't a spot.. It was under the skin. I got very scared and looked in the mirror for a head but couldn't find one, so I have been looking relentlessly through the web for something on these symptoms and found this, closest I could find. Anything to help me sleep easy? I will tell my parents in the morning about it and see what they think.. thanks in advance.

bad bump, bad
Posted: 02-11-08 15:33pm

I'm 24 and about 2 wks ago I noticed a small bump under my left armpit. I didn't think too much of it at first. Just thought it was a hair bump from shaving. Over the last week it's gotten increasingly bigger and painful to the point where raising or lowering my left hurts kinda bad. I can't sleep on my left side at all b/c the pain is so bad. I emailed my doc this morning and now I get the pleasure of waiting for a response. My mom had a bump like this before and hers was just a cyst. I'm hoping for a repeat in history here. I had a breast exam 2wks ago as well and my doc didn't find anything so I don't think it's cancer, but it's till kinda scary. I'll update you guys when I find out something.

Quick word of advice, especially to the young girls: if you've had your lump for a while (longer than 2 weeks) and you're still worried about it, tell a parent (which ever you're most comfortable with) and make a dr appt. It'll just stress you out way more if you are keeping it to yourself. It's better to be stressed and find out it's nothing than to be stressed, do nothing and find out it's serious. Hoping all your lumps and bumps go away.

lump under armpit
Posted: 02-12-08 11:20am

I too had a lump, felt like the size of a pea, I was 13, I waited to tell anyone. At 14 I went to the Dr., back then things were different than now, 1974..I was sent to a surgeon and they removed it, It was benign..no cancer, but it was the size of a golf ball the Dr. told me, that amazed me as I felt such a small area. I hope you have got checked or will soon, only a Dr., can tell you for sure

Last Friday I discovered a lump under my right armpit. It is still here now, it is not very painful but when touched or pressed it feels quite tender, I suppose very slightly painful. Its kind of red around the area. The lump is about the size of a pea. I've been worried about it being cancer, I'm a 20 year old guy. I've been having tight chest pains now and again too, not too painful, could this be due to my anxiety? I've booked an appointment at the doctors for this friday but would like some advice.

Cheers.
