Usually goes down within a week or two. Is it related to deodorant at all?

Check with your doctor if it don't go away in a week or so. Sometimes lumps will show up before your period starts and disappears. Have you been taught how to check for breast cancer? if not, check with your doctor or any cancer agency and they will tell you how to do it. Please do not wait, breast cancer can spread very quickly into the surrounding area such as the armpits.

This happened to me when I switched deodorant. The store didn't have my regular powder fresh Secret so I tried a different scent. I got a huge lump under my arm, it was a swollen gland. I had to stop shaving and using deodorant til the lump went away. Your problem sounds a little different, because mine only happened once.

It sounds like lymphadenopathy...or swollen lymph nodes. I would guess that it very well could be aggravated by deoderant...have you ever tried the natural deoderants such as the crystal that you wet? I would assume that solid deoderants and anything that is perfumed would be really bad (which unfortunately is most of women's deoderants).
