Question

okay well.. i have this little bump under my armpit thats causing alot of pain.. ( its suppovely due to sweating alot & not washing right after i sweat so it built up n now its an infected bump) but i think it might be spreading er somethings wrong with me. Right under the bump theres a painful spot n when i raise my arm up, i can feel a bump inside my armpit where it hurts too.. is this infection spreading? & right below that..i noticed another bump..but this ones kinda/sorta on my boob..wut is it?

the bump i noticed on my boob..its not a bump on the outside.. i feel it on the inside of my skin..

Do i go see a normal doctor for this problem or a gyno?

Answer 1

Find a different doctor!!! ANY lump in the upper torso region should be thoroughly investigated!!! If your doctor is NOT treating it or investigating it, then both of you are neglecting your health. YOU need to be proactive in your personal care - doctors won't give a sh!t unless YOU push the issue.

The fact that your "condition" seems to be spreading would be alarming to me.
It could be something completely harmless, but then again, pain is an indicator that something is WRONG! It's your body's way of telling you to get it taken care of NOW.

Answer 2

Are the bumps under the skin or on top of the skin like a scab?

If it's under the skin you could have an enlarged lymph node, which defiantly means you have an infection of some kind. Lymph nodes can be felt in the arm pit, on the side of your neck, under your chin, and in your groin if they're enlarged, (if they're not enlarged you shouldn't be able to feel them). If this is the case you should defiantly see a doctor.

If the bumps are on top of the skin you may have an ingrown hair in your arm pit. Try to use a needle dipped in rubbing alcohol to get it out and then pluck it and the bump should heal.

Now the one on your boob could be anything, it might be related to your enlarged lymph nodes. If it's also under the skin see a doctor, only a doctor can tell you for sure what it is and how to treat it. If it's on top of the skin and you're not allergic to Neosporin rub some of that on it and see if that help. If it's an on the skin infection that might help it heal.

I have gotten the exact same thing under my armpit, and it hurts alot. But eventually within a couple of days it goes away. I have honestly not seen my doctor for this. I just assumed that it was an ingrown hair, but I dont think that it is because it has happened more than once and it is not due to me shaving incorrectly. I dont know what it is, but it scares me when it does happen. Good luck, dont be like me and go see a doctor.

Answer 4

Go and see a doctor! Last semester in my nursing class we learned about self-exams and how to teach women to perform them. Most of all lumps found are found in whats called the tail of Spence. Where that is found is if you lift up your arm, that is the area from the side of your boob all the way up into your armpit. Most places recommend you to feel for lumps all the way down your arm too. Don't always believe one doctor, especially if things start to get worse. Go and get more opinions, and a gynecologist may be a good start. Lumps aren't something you want to mess around with. Call and schedule an appt with your gyno (but if they are the one who told you it is nothing, go and see a different doc).

Answer 5

I have the same exact thing. The bumps on your armpits are probably just irritaions from shaving. Many girls get them during the years when they first start shaving, and they last for a long time. You could try using nair instead of shaving to give it time to heal. The bump on your breast is from clothes and or your bra rubbing against the sensitve skin. Again, most girls have these in that area, or on their upper inner thigh. Of course I'm not sure if that's what you have since I don't know what it looks like. But I bet that's it. Those won't ever go away unless you actually have them removed by a doctor; but they are not harmful in any way.

Answer 6

See your gyno.
Sounds like cysts they could be nothing. The gyno will probably just give you an antibiotic ointment.

With stuff like this don't wait to long to get professional help. It usually is something simple but you never know when it can be something serious and the sooner you catch it the better chance you have of curing it. The longer you wait the more serious if will become.

Answer 7

Boils?is that it?painful,pus-filled inflammations of the skin,it ranges size from a pea to a walnut.it can be found anywhere in the body,most commonly in areas where there is hair and friction,neck,armpits,genitals,breast and face.you might need an anti biotic,take pain reliever to reduce pain and inflammation.avoid scratching,bathe at least twice a day to keep your body clean.see a doctor for more medicine prescription.my sister is a pharmacist and my husband have the same problem as yours,she gave me this health guide book for medicines to buy,but you should consult your doctor first for prescriptions.

Answer 8

You sound obsessed with it. Leave it alone. Its probly nothing. Try a better razor next time, and wash better. Maybe try a different soap. Its probly a plugged sweat gland...Ive had it, and it sounds like what you have. Show someone, and get their opinion.

I dont think everyone needs to be scaring you with the big C word. Geeeez people!

Answer 9

I'm not a girl but I massage girls often.
That gland under your armput is not happy and you need to find out why.
Don't use antiperspirants please.
They just klog you up.
Blocking your skin to stop it from perspiering is not healthy.
Rather use something to kill the bacteria like tetree oil or a disenfectant.
It's good to swet.
Get a regular workout.
Hope my answer helped you a bit.

Answer 10

kinda sounds like an ingrown hair to me. Put hot compresses on it until it comes to a head and you can get the hair follicle out. If that isn't the case have your Dr look at it cause it may very well be a swollen lymph node.
