Painful lump on my armpit?!
Question: Painful lump on my armpit!?
I am a 15 year old female!. I have a dime sized painful lump on the bottom half of my right armpit!. It is red and color and is very tender!. I noticed i had one in the same spot about 2 weeks ago, but it went away after a week!. Now it is back and at first it was red and tender, then it was just a lump, skin color, and not painful!. About two days ago it turned red and tender again!. When i touch it, it is very painful and it feels more of an oval shape!. I can feel that it seems to go deeper into the skin than just the surface!. What could this be, what should i do and/or what can i do to help it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
it could be a cyst or an ingrown hair!. honestly, i would have a doctor check it out because if its a cyst he might have to give you something for it!. there really isnt anything out there to help bumps or anything, but if it hurts really bad, you can take an ibprofen which is an pain med and also an anti inflammatory so it might help with the swelling!. you can also try ice 15 min on 15 mins off, and that may also help!. i hope you feel better! thats a terrible spot to be uncomfortable in!Www@Answer-Health@Com
The best thing you can do is get it checked by a doctor!. There's no use freaking yourself out before you know if its something bad or not!. I just had a lump removed and it turned out to be fibrous tissue--nothing to worry about!. But I was so scared it was cancer!. now that I know what it was, I can breathe and go on with my life!. good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's not uncommon to have sweat glands that become plugged and inflamed, especially if you use an antiperspirant!. Try going without your deodorant or antiperspirant for a day or two and apply hot compresses to the area!. If that does not improve the situation, then you should see a doctor to make sure something more serious is not going on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
