armpit lump..?

[munch2369]

I have a small lump in my armpit and it feels like its bruised.. any ideas what it is??? Its pretty small and tender.

Did he have any pain in his arm when he had the lump?

I have a skin disease called Hidradenitis. It is normally caused by stress or hormones. It feels like a pimple or a cyst and it can be quite a b!tch. It hurts and bruises. I had to get the worst one lanced because it made my arm pit swell up the size of a baseball! I would talk to you doctor or go see a dermatologist.

My fiance just went to the er for a bump in his armpit tutns out to be a bacterial infection cause he`s smart self cut himself shaving a while back and it was first an in grown hair but he kept putting deodorant in it so it turned into a cyst they prescribed him some antibiotics and an over the counter cleanser called hibiclens bump is almost completely gone the reason they didn't cut into it was it didnt have a white head yet.

I was going to say if it is pea sized its probably a lymph node...

[sep28]

it could be a little hernia I was born with one n it heald on its own n now that im pregnant it bulges little bit its above my belly button

Mines like the size of a pea. I didnt even notice it for the first day i just thought my armpit was bruised.

Even if it is a cyst, chances are its harmless and won't need to be removed. I have them everywhere.  Neck, arms, chest, armpits. They're all about the size of a grape and can't be seen from the outside but can be felt.

Oct beat me to it! Lol.

If u can move it under your skin and its round it most likely is but you should go to your doctor just to be sure

[HannahJohnson]

Could be a swollen lymph node.  Look it up on google images

It could be a lymph node when I was younger they would come every time I got a period. Just show your doc if your worried the ob should know what it is

[mcrissa]

No it didnt hurt they gave me a local anesthetic and cutbit right out didnt hurt at all . Yea theyll send you to a different dr just tell your dr about it at the appointment amd theyll refer u to another dr

[munch2369]

I have a gyno appt on tuesday should i wait or will she send me to a different doctor??

[munch2369]

I dont want anything removed :s did it hurt??

[mcrissa]

I had that and it was a cyst it was an ingrown hair and turned in to a cyst the dr removed it

[munch2369]

Scary :/ hoping its just a cyst or something.

[Hannah_sweg]

I had something like that when I was younger. So I dont think yours is pregnancy related. Go to a doctor, I had to get mine cut out.
Plus small possibility it could be a cancerous lump.

I have gotten those they go away after a free days someone said from not cleaning properly but I'm not sure how true that is though I clean very well lol
