Lump in armpit

[deblyngirl]

Hi i'm 21 years old overweight woman. I've been having a lump in my right armpit and it really hurts. The first time i found it was months ago and that time it burst and kinda gone but sometimes it would appear again in my armpit (but not on the same spot), sometimes in my left armpit. I've been using ichthyol cream and doesn't seem to make it all gone.

as for my breasts, I never felt any pain on my breast or find a lump.

should i be worried?

thankyou so much.

Hi,
Usually painful lumps are not indicative of breast cancer. What you have sounds like an infected sebaceous (oil gland) cysts. Cyst and infections on the surface of the skin of the armpit may be caused by shaving or use of antiperspirants (as opposed to deodorants) Other infectious causes such as abscesses under the skin may also produce, painful lumps in the armpit.
Since this problem keeps coming back, I would advise you to see  your doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment to get rid of the infection.
Best wishes.
