Lump underarm...?!


Question: Lump underarm!.!.!.!?
So for about a week all round my shoulder has been feeling really sensitive to touch, wearing t shirts or a bra has felt really uncomfortable then today I noticed the skins really red on the back of my arm and it really hurts to put any pressure at all on it!.
So i got a bit worried and checked closer and i've got a lump under my arm close to wear the top corner (where the strap attaches to) of a bra would sit!.
Its too painful to wear a bra due to the strap touching the back of my shoulder and the pressure on this lump!.

I'm going to the doctors tomorrow but I just wondered if anyone has had this before or whether it sounds urgent enough to go into A&E tonight as all doctors are now closed!.

Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com

contact someone that is a doctor or call your doctor and talk to him on the phoneWww@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds either like a simple boil or a cyst!. If you are definitely going to the doctor tomorrow then you will be fine until then!. You can take pain killers if you need to!. Keep the area clean!. If you have any gauze squares, you could secure one in place, if there is anything oozing out of it!. It could also be an inflamed lymph node, but I reckon it is just a boil and they can be very painful, even if they are not serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could be many things

a rash

irritation

a shaving lump

aleergic reaction

or things more serious but make sure when you got to the doctors they check you properly

i know from experience my mums friend had a lump under her arm and the doctor said it was a shaving lump

about 6 months to a year later she passed away with cancer

i hope i havent scared you

good luck

I bet its nothingWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah I had that exact same thing a few weeks ago!.
When you feel it does it feel like a ball under your skin !?
It was just a cist that had developed from an ingrown hair !.!. it went down on it's own but the doctors offered to operate to take it out !.!. or you can pop it with a pin !.!. I didn't fancy either so i waited for it to go down itselfWww@Answer-Health@Com

could be a cyst or something more serious!. if it isnt giving you nausea, dizziness, tiredness or anything unusual then you should be OK to see a doctor tomorrow!. if your really worried then go to the a and e to set your mind at rest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's sounds very painful, and i'm afraid can't answer your question!.!.!.I would take some paracetamol or something (just for the pain or so) and go straight to docs in the morning! IF really bad I would go emergency tonight!.!.!.see how you are though first

HOpe nothing too serious, bye bye*Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think it is a cyst probably not worth going to A&E if you are seeing a Dr tomorrow :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
