see a doctor, so they can do a breast exam on you. you have glands in your arm pits that can become cancerous even at a young age.
get it checked out, sweetie.

There are lymph nodes in the armpit. Though you don't feel sick, your body is probably fighting something off, or they sometimes swell from medications. Because you seem to think you feel fine, I would say talk to the doctor if it doesn't go away soon. Cancer (possibly breast cancer since it's your armpit), but this is usually rare. Your glands shouldn't swell "just because" so my only other idea is that it's filled with some type of lfuid, probably the lymph, lymph nodes carry. If you're very worried just call your doctor and s/he can tell you whther or not to come in for a check up.

sounds like you have a cyst that has formed as a result of an ingrown hair. You can try warm moist heat to draw the cyst to a head so it will open and drain, or you can see a doctor to have it opened and drained. In either case you need to get it taken care of because it can only get worse.

I suffered same for years but as I grew older they disappeared. Even sister of a doctor had that ailment operated it but is recurrent. Take 3 cloves once a month.of garlic to kill the infection. Or garlic that is extracted sold in market.

lynph glands are under your arms . Learn to do self massage for lymph glands. Or check with holistic massage therapists , they can also teach you . If it persists tho by all means get this checked out. Lymph glands are nothing to mess with (blocked that is).

You need to go to the doctors. You may have a cyst or an infected lymph node.

usually this is a gland that is reacting because of some injury or infection such as immunisation or infected cut or some other problem if it persists see your doctor
