Title: Medical Bore i.e. Smooth Groove: Armpit problem
Post by: Phoenix Dark on November 09, 2007, 03:17:28 AM
So earlier today while in the shower, I noticed my right armpit is hella sore. After careful inspection I found a little bump near the top of the armpit; it's right in the hair. I only notice it when I touch it, at which point it feels quite sore. I paid enough attention in bio classes to know this could be a swollen lymph node. Any more sinister possibilities?

You have breast cancer. Its most likely a cyst, it commonly happens in teenagers  ::)  ::)  ::)

If it is an infection, the armpit nodes are indicative of the proximity of the infection from that area. Does it hurt? Dont look or ask for medical advice on the internet. Its going to make you extremely anxious to the levels of a hypochondriac. Then you will have introduced a whole new problem and be uncessarily medicated with behavior altering medication.  :maf

Cyst eh? Hm. I had my physical last month btw..

It only hurts when I touch it. It's not really painful though, just a rather sore feeling. Actually when I push down on it it feels tough, under the skin.

Anecdotal evidence ftw. But i had the exact same thing in august. I got freaked out because i messed around in clubs alot this summer. I actually shaved the area so i could try to self diagonse. It hurt when pressure was exerted on it and it was bothersome when i got sweaty from all that gay sex. It persisted for a 2 weeks then let me be. Ps dont shave, the worse thing you can do to a pressure sensitive outgrowth is exposing it to a myriad of sharpened blades.(your shaved hair, not razor) Its itchy like pube shaving +++++

Is it warm?  warm=bad  Also, if it starts getting bigger, you should get it drained as soon as possible.  Or it could get disgustingly big, like a ping pong ball.  Look up abscess and armpit.

If you just leave it alone, it could become huge and really painful.  Popping it by yourself is a bad idea too because the infection can spread to nearby areas.  The best thing is to put a hot towel over it and let it drain on its own.  Otherwise, you can get a doctor to surgically drain it but that'll cost about $200.
