Underarm lump

[alvaa]

First off I have been diagnosed with anxiety and so these things really worry me.

About a month ago I felt a pea size lump under my left arm pit. It finally went away but then one came up under my right arm pit, about the same size. So, I changed deodorants. It went away. Now, I have a different one (different area) under my left armpit. It is hard and shallow and about the size of a pea and hurts to touch. I remember being sick with something about 6 years ago and my neck lymph nodes swelling and it didn't feel like this. Am I worried about ingrown hairs or a reaction to the deodorants I have been using, or does this sound like lymphoma or something?

Thank you, I will. I switched deodorant again yesterday. I had accidentally switched to an antiperspirant with aluminum. I have heard of people having bad things to happen with these.

Typically when lymph nodes swell it is due to an underlying infection (bacterial/viral), such as Mononucleosis, sinus infections, etc. But these would typically be swollen in the neck. Mention it to your doctor, epecially if it continues to grow; and if it does they will most likely do a Lymph Node biopsy to rule out anything serious. As for right now, pertaining to its initial size, I would not worry. Keep me posted. Best regards.
