Question 1

i heard that deodorant containing propylene glycol could cause swollen lymph nodes. im using minoxidil 5% with propylene glycol in the content and experiencing swollen lymph nodes. im 100% sure that this minoxidil solution is causing it. is propylene glyc

Accepted Answer

No: Look for some other cause for your lymph nodes being swollen, or they may be normal. Much of what you read online about popular personal care products is garbage, with people trying to frighten Yu into switching to whatever they are trying to sell you. Especially, if your current product does not irritate your skin, it is unlikely to affect the nodes.

Question 2

i have had swollen lymph nodes come and go for about 3 months now. no other symptoms, and i have used the same deodorant for over 10 years.

Accepted Answer

Where: Dependent on where the gland swelling is.

But for this to be present for 3 months is not a normal occurrence

I would suggest seeing your DR and getting a full exam to find the etiology of the swelling.

Question 3

can you get swollen lymph nodes under your armpits from stick deodorant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some people react to deodorant as an irritant and others may be allergic to the contents of the deodorant stick. In either case body may react against the chemicals and that may result in local lymph gland enlargement.

Question 4

i switched to an all natural deodorant about a month ago (native), and now have swollen lymph nodes in both armpits that are painful. i know this has ?

Accepted Answer

Stop it: If you suspect that the natural product has caused it, you will need to stop using it.  Remember that not everything natural is good for you. For example, poison ivy/oak is likely as organic and natural as it comes (since no one tries to cultivate them or fertilize them with chemicals), yet it sensitizes over 90% of the people having direct contact with it.

Question 5

i have had reoccurring swollen lymph nodes under both armpits with no other symptoms. could this be from deodorant? one will go away then come back.

Accepted Answer

You R right: Avoid stick deodorant. Stop shaving that area. Soap and water to keep area clean. May need a short course of antibiotic. Once cleared .....preventive measures will help avoid recurrence.

Question 6

what can cause swollen lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Centers: The lymphatic system absorbs and carries things too big to go into the arteries and veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food.  The lymph nodes "taste" the lymph to see if anything bad is there like bacteria, viruses, cancers, etc.  When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.

Question 7

can teething cause swollen lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

Generally no: Swollen lymph nodes are a sign of infection.  Teething is not normally associated with an infection.  You child might have caught a bug going around.  The most important thing to do for your child is to provide loving support for your child's symptoms.  A children's pain reliever for pain and/or fever, encourage fluids and try to maintain good nutrition.

Question 8

can psoriasis cause swollen lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Lymph nodes enlarge as a reaction to inflammation so if the skin inflammation is significant then enlargement can occur.

Question 9

what can cause swollen lymph nodes around the aorta?

Accepted Answer

Nodes: Lots of things can cause enlarged lymph nodes. Generally the ones around the aorta would be enlarged because of processes in the body below their level such as the pelvis or lower extremities. This is not a firm rule however as some systemic problems can also cause it.

Question 10
