PAINFUL LUMP UNDER ARMPIT

[J_V]

NOT TOO LONG AGO I BEGAN TO GET A RAISED BUMP UNDER MY ARMPIT. IT DIDNT HURT TILL I ACTUALLY NOTICED IT, AND THE PAIN WASNT BAD AT ALL.I SEARCHED THE NET AND THE ONLY THING I COULD COME UP WITH WAS THAT I WAS USING MY BROTHERS DEODORANT FOR LIKE 3 TO 4 WEEKS BEFORE THE BUMP SHOWED UP. I STOPED USING HIS DEODORANT AND HAD HIM BUY ME A NEW ONE. HE BAUGHT THE SAME BRAND DEODORANT BUT I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT SINCE IT WAS NEW THIS TIME. WELL THE BUMP WENT AWAYS AND USED THE NEW DEODORANT. AFTER A WEEK OF USING IT A NEW BUMP ROSE. THIS ONE WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE PAINFUL BUT SMALLER IN SIZE. I FIGURED IT WAS THE BRAND THAT WAS GIVING ME THOSE BUMPS, SO I STOPED USING DEODORANT FOR A WHILE TILL IT WENT AWAY.THEN ABOUT 6 DAYS AFTER IT WAS GONE, I NOTICED A THIRD BUMP THAT RAISED.THE BUMPS FELT LIKE PIMPLES BUT NOT TOO SWOLLEN OR RED. IN OTHER WORDS, ITS HARD TO SEE THE BUMPS UNLESS I POINT THEM OUT TO YOU. WHEN I DID RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS COULD BE SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES. IF SO, HOW WOULD I KNOW IF IT IS? AND I KNOW THERE ARE MANY POSSIBILITIES FOR SWOLLEN LYMPHS BUT I WANNA KNOW THE COMMON CAUSES FOR SWOLLEN LYMPHS UNDER ARMPIT.I AM REALLY CONCERNED AND WANT SOME OPINIONS TOO. JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE.PLEASE HELP... THANK YOU!

It is most likely a disease known as  hidradenitis superlative.
It is a common, painful, debilitating, and chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting 1% of the global population, primarily occurring in inverse areas of the skin, e.g. axillae and groin. HS variably presents clinically with painful and chronically recurring, deep-seated follicular nodules, papules, pustules and abscesses, leading to suppuration, fibrosis, distortion, degradation and hypertrophic scarring of the skin. The etiology/pathogenesis/c ause of HS is not known. HS remains a distinct and separate disease. In the past, direct comparisons of HS to sweat gland and acne diseases have delayed the planning and development of focused HS research which could discover the actual cause. I have had it for at least 12 years and it is very painful. Always had it in my groin area by my underwear line by my thigh. Yesterday I got one under my armpit and it is very painful.
Look it up on the internet and read about it. There is also a support group out there.

I had an abscess under my arm and then however, I had a keloid under my arm and the abscess was under the keloid. I went to the doctor after 3 days and he gave some antibiotics. I put heat on 3 times a day and it finally came to a head but, what surprised me was how much stuff came out. It was black and smelly, kind up rubbery. It was so big that it left a hole in my underarm for a fay or so. How do i prevent this from happening again. I stopped using regular role a few years ago and I know use Tom's deodorant stick, the one use wet everytime you use it.

Antipesperant (sp) deoderant is deoderant that keeps you from sweating. Deoderant however (just deoderant) lets you sweat but covers the odor. You need to read the label on the deoderant in order to ensure your getting just a deoderant. Anyways, I got these same bumps under my arm. Sometimes I would have five or six of them at a time. The reason is because your body does need to sweat. When you wear deoderant it blocks your glands and makes them swell and turn red. Sometimes if they hurt very bad, but a hot pad on them until a head forms. Then the head needs to be popped like a pimple and the puss can be drained out. Sometimes, however, you do need to go to the doctor and have them lanced. Nothing prevents them besides swopping from antipresperant to deoderant- just so you allow your pores to sweat but there not stinky :)
