I've got these lumps under my armpit...?

Question

Has anyone ever had these? They really hurt. It started with burning when i used deodrant.

Answer 1

I'm not a doctor. I'm just speaking from experience.There are sweat and lymph glands in your armpits that swell before and during your period and can be aggrevated by hormone changes and caffiene. Birth control, changes in your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause, lots of coffee, soda and other caffienated drinks can aggrevate this.

Answer 2

u could be alergic to your deodrant....or u could have razor rash...or it could be a combo of both. Here's what u do....don't shave for a bit and go to the store and get a new deordant...sensitive skin kind or hypoalergetic kind. U can get Cordizone spray to help with itching and burning. When u r in the shower put baby oil on underneath you arms and put baby lotion on when u get out too.

It should go away soon....change your razor blades often like every other week or every week depending on how much u use them.

Answer 3

There are lymph nodes underneath the armpit, just like underneath the chin or at the top anterior side of the leg. If there is swelling of the lymph nodes, it indicates your body is fighting illnes or infection. Are you coming down with something?
Time to go to the doctor and get checked up.

I don't know if it has anything to do with your deodorant, but it might. Get it checked out is all I can say.

Answer 4

This sounds like a reaction to the deodrant but if they persist after you stop using this particular brand, see your Doctor because your lymph glands are just there.

Answer 5

Go and see your doctor. I suffered with abscesses under my armpits for 20 years always on antibiotics was even given a prescription for 100 antibiotics taking 1 every day to try and prevent them but never worked, ended up getting my sweat glands out and have never looked back, only sorry it took 20 years of pain, So go to doctor and get them checked out

Answer 6

Keep the area clean and dry. Do NOT use any sort of deodorant, antiperspirant or powder until it clears up.

It's probably a blocked sweat gland and it needs time to self-resolve. However, if it goes on for more than 3-4 days without resolution, go to your doctor and have it examined.

Answer 7

Last year my mother had the lymph nodes under her armpit removed. You ought to see a doctorand find out. It could be many things, up to and including cancer. Are you going to trust people here with something that could jeopardize your life if you get the wrong information??? That's what doctors are for.

Answer 8

You have congested lymphnodes. They usually drain themselves if your lifestyles is fairly healthy. But if they don't you need to get some help. Regularly scheduled lymph drainage massages are the easiest way, and probably a change in diet and lifestyle. If that doesn't work, go to the doctor.

Whatever you do, don't stop using deodorant; then you' ll suffer from 2 things, lumpy pits and no friends.

Answer 9

It could be blocked pores from the deodorant, however, it can also be swollen lymph nodes. They can also be a lot of other things, all of which need to be ruled out by a physician.

Please make an appointment with your doctor. Good luck.

Answer 10

sounds simular to what my daughter had hers appeared when she started to shave i took her to the doctor because they became very uncomfortable when she lifted her arm up. they put her on antibiotics which didnt work then refered her to a skin specialist who said they were just glands and the deoderant and the shaving was irratating and blocking the pores under her arms she was told to stop shavin and use imac and deoderant wipes they also said if she wanted she could go to hospital has a day case and have the glands removed. all cases arent the same though i suggest you try imac and deoderant wipes then the doctor at least you can tell them you arent shaving or using deoderant.good luck.
