My Mom had that problem caused by an infection. This is what she did & it drew all of the infection out.
She mashed Garlic & Cayanne pepper together & spread it under her arm & wrapped it in gauze.
She changed it every couple of hourd or so. Everytime she changed it it had pus in it drawn out from the cyst. It eventually went away with her having to take any meds.
I hope this helps & that your test results come back ok!
no it just means your deodorant dried out its no problem
It is your glands that is causing this, which is quite normal for some people. They tend to come and go, however you need to keep an eye on it see what the results are.
It is good your doctor took a swab...as the cyst could be MRSA.Staph infections, including MRSA, generally start as small red bumps that resemble pimples, boils or spider bites. These can quickly turn into deep, painful abscesses that require surgical draining. Some causes: Having a weakened immune system.
Living in crowded or unsanitary conditions..
Recent hospitalization or antibiotic use. A recent hospital stay or treatment with fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin or levofloxacin) or cephalosporin antibiotics can increase the risk of CA-MRSA.
Association with health care workers. People who are in close contact with health care workers are at increased risk of serious staph infections.
It might be fibrocystic breast condition, which basically gives you lumpier, more tender breasts. If that were the case, the biggest thing to do is be extra sure you thoroughly check for breast cancer, as the extra lumpiness would make it harder to find a tumor. I would wait to hear from your doctor, but if it's something that has come and gone(and especially if it has come and gone near your period), it may just be a shift in hormones. Good luck!
Lumps in the armpit have various causes. Cysts and infections on the surface of the skin of the armpit may be caused by shaving or use of antiperspirants (as opposed to deodorants). This occurs most frequently in adolescents just beginning to shave. Abscesses under the skin may also produce large, painful lumps in the armpit.
Lumps may occur when lymph nodes are swollen due to bacterial or viral infections, vaccinations, and cancer.
Lymph nodes are filters that can catch infectious organisms or cancerous tumor cells. When they do, lymph nodes increase in size and are easily felt. A breast self-examination should always include the armpit because breast cancer can enlarge the armpit lymph nodes even when the breast itself seems perfectly normal.
