DIAGNOSE ME: I've got a lump under my arm, in my armpit. Could this be cancerous? (1 Viewer)

If it's new, get it seen. If it's old. Get it seen.

I've had a swollen lymph node on my neck since I was like 2. Sometimes they just get switched on and don't switch off.

could be swollen lymph node
due to:
impending infection or
metastasising breast cancer cells (in this case its too late - youre fucked)

could be a cyst

could be a block pore/sweat gland/ blind pimple

the axillary lymph nodes are actually quite deep. If it is visible in the skin it less likely to be lymphadenopathy. From your description I would say most likely it is a cyst or folliculitis.

but i would never listen to internet advice, get it checked by your GP if it worries you.

Wtf! Your deodorant caused a lump under your skin, near one of the body's critical organs? :-/

Yep + the way I was applying it perhaps. said it was fairly common can't remember the exact medical term but he made me use natural deodorant for a week and it was gone.

It sounds like AIDS.

go to your LMO

 

[kailasarah]

it could be. I'd go have it checked because I have a friend who had a lump under his arm and it was cancer. Goodluck x

Your current aim in life is to go to UWS. Go sit in a corner and cry or something.

[cookie.banana]

[scarybunny]

I have one in my armpit now.

Probably because my epilator wasn't properly cleaned or something. It'll go away in a week or so.

 

[Scissors]

yo guys, it's all good. it's not there anymore.

Okay, first thing's first, let me say that there isn't so much a history of cancer in my family, except my mum did have breast cancer. I've noticed a lump appear in my armpit, but it appeared instantaneously rather than gradually. It's like a small ball under the skin, and I'm able to get hold of it in my fingers. Also, on the exterior, it has a reddish-pinkish colour. I've noticed this in my underarm on previous occasions, but it's never been so large and it just disappeared last time. If you need any more details, please, leave me a comment and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Oh, and BTW, I'm going to see a doctor about this, but I just thought I'd get an opinion from you guys first because in the past you gus have been good at pinpointing an exact condition.

hahaha
lulz.
