Bump on my armpit?!


Question: i have a lump under my armpit, closer to my breast, but not on it. it isnt visible from the outside, and its about the size of a nickel. i was sick a few weeks ago and never noticed it until now. could it just be a swollen lymph node or could it be something more serious? i'm only 15.

I've had this loads of times hun. Its more than likely an infected gland but just to be sure go get it checked out by your gp. Mine was so painful sometimes i couldnt even put my arm down. If it is an infected gland he will be able to prescribe you some antibiotics. Hope this helps.

get that looked at asap! doesnt sound good!

Most likely its nothing serious, but its still the sensible thing to get it checked out by a doctor, so you don't have to worry about it...

Might be an ingrown hair or a boil, but you should have it checked out anyway cause I'm not a doctor and I wouldn't want to see you get hurted or something.

it might be a lymph node infection
however in case it is something else tell your parents so you can see a doctor asap

The main thing is to get it checked out. I had a similar lump under my arm and come to find I was allergic to the deodorant I was using. Of course I found this out by going to a doctor. Just a little FYI for you.
