Lumps

[Shark0012]

I have one huge hard lump under my right armpit.  It really hurts bad and is a little red.  I think I am allergic to deoterant because my armpits always ich.  I also notice two new bumps on under my other arm in a different place and one on the same as the other one.  The new two are way smaller.  I am 25 and have no history of cancer in my family.  I don't have insurance and not sure I have money for it.  Could these bumps be from irration?  Please let me know what to do.  The big bump hurts really bad!  

Thanks

What causes them to be swollen?

Thanks...I'm trying different deoterant and taking a shower right away when I get home to just try and see if its that.  I'm really still worried.  I am going to wait until the end of the week before I see the doctor.  Thanks for the reply it helped out a lot.

hello, I would say probably not to worry. you are too young to have breast ca.  (the chances of that are very very small, specially with neg family histoty).  you probably have swollen lymph nodes, or fatty deposits, or fibroadenomas( a benign lesion) you could find out with an easy ultrasound which costs abot 100 dollars. Meanwhile, try to not use the deordorant for a few days. keep us posted. good luck.

hey----I agree I think it could be a swollen lymph node......don't panic......swollan lymph nodes tend to stay around for a little while..................

HI!  PLEASE DONT BE SCARED, YOU ARE PROBABLY A LITTLE YOUNG FOR BREAST CA, CHANCES ARE VERY SMALL FOR THAT. IT IS MORE LIKELY TO BE EITHER SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES, OR BENIGN LESION CALLED FIBROADENOMA.
YOU COULD GET AN ULTRASOUND WHICH IS AROUND 100 DOLLARS, W/O INSURANCE. PLZ LET US KNOW WHAT HAPPENS .  SORRY FOR ALL CAPS
