MedHelp Member's Question

Lymph Nodes

by AndyB07, Jun 16, 2009 08:00PM

I am 37 year old male in relatively good health except for some back issues. About a year ago while taking a shower, I noticed my right armpit felt slightly larger than my left. I could not feel a noticeable lump or anything like that, but I could clearly feel that the armpit is kind of puffy whereas my left armpit feels flatter. My question is if a lymph node is swollen in the armpit would it be felt as a palpable lump or could it manifest itself as the puffiness I'm describing? My armpit does not feel hard or painful, just soft and puffy.It has remained this way for over a year and has not gotten any bigger or smaller. Could this be lymphoma or just something less serious. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. This has me really concerned. Thanks.

Andy
