swelling under arm pits
I have swelling under my arm pits for a long time now..there are no lumps and the swelling on both sides are exaclty the same..lately there has been a rash showing up but seems like it goes away but comes back again...i dont want to go to the doctor cause i have no health insurance..i hope someone can help im sick of the swelling!
Hi again ill will try and get a pic of them but the best way i can describe it is my friends arm pit goes way in and mine have this bulge that is directly under my arm pit about 2" long and wide..i dont know if that could just be fat or what but ive tried different deodorant and not wearing anything but it dosent go away..im 6'5" about 230 pounds. i have gained weight in the last year about 15 pounds maybe..a nurse i know said the swollen area is to far down from the armpit to be lymph nodes..there are no lumps but redness in the armpit sometimes it comes and goes..it is sore sometimes and my arms are not restricted in any way. Thanks for some of the advice maybe i should try and cleanse my system and if u have any advise on that i would sure appreciate it.
How are you sure they are swollen? What does it looks like? Maybe it is a reaction to the heat or your deodorant? Also another thing to consider is the fact that your "Lymph Nodes" have swelled up. It can have many different reasons. Hope I helped a little. Maybe try doing a google search to get more infomation =) good luck

Hi,
Honestly speaking, I couldn’t understand the description of your swelling as you say that there’s no lump over there. The most common swelling we get in the armpits is due to the enlargement of the lymph node which of course is a lumpy swelling. In general, anything, which is symmetrical/on both sides, is less worrying compared to anything which is unilateral/only on one side. If you can describe your swelling in a little more detail, that will help me in reaching to a conclusion, like any pain,redness,in what area it extends to, does it restrict your arm movement,fever,any lumps anywhere and so on. It’ll be great if you can take a picture and send it along.
I hope that helps.
Please keep me posted. Kind regards.
