It hurts, and it's been there for about 3 days. I remember getting something similar to this when I was younger. My mom said it was from wearing too much deodorant underneath my arm. Is this true? Has anyone else had this problem?

yes all anti persperent/deoderant can be derectly linked to causing breast cancer and causing lumps because the deoderant clogs the pores and doesn't allow for the bad stuff to come out. so go to more natural deoderants, there a number of natural products out now that you can find even at the grocery store. once you do this the lumps should clear up. my mom has the same problem unless she uses natural deoderants too so i know they work!!

Well this is an issue that you do not want to take lightely, even though it is probably something minor. To answer your question yes it could very well be a clogged poor, ingrown hair that swelled up it could be a swollen lympth node which could be indicative of a minor infection or it could be something a little more serious. I had the same issue and just dropped by my doctor's office to have her double check. It's the smart thing to do but don't stress over it just get it checked out. And if it is from your deoderant you may want to try an all natural deoderant I use Jason Tea Tree Oil deoderant.

Yes, deodorant can clog a pore (much like a pimple) and cause lumps. See a doctor because these can get infected. I've had this happen to me twice.

I would suggest you go to your doctor asap. you can never be to save these days. A lump underneath you arm can be a lot of things especially if it is close to you breast, GO to doctor and check it out just to be save. Hope it isn't something serious. have a nice x-mas

Yes, certain types of deodarant contain aluminium (or aluminum if you're in the US). This can build up under the skin. If it doesn't go away you may need to get it syringed, that happened to my friend. Try switching to an aluminium free deodorant.

Get it checked! It's probably nothing, but, better to be safe than sorry. You can never be too careful with lumps and bumps.
