Question 3

very itchy armpits. feeling very tired lately also but could be due to quarantine affecting sleep pattern. armpits very itchy especially in the stretch marks surrounding armpits. noticed when used deodorant but used a different one and still itchy?

Armpit Itch: Itchy armpits are usually due to poor hygiene, dermatitis, or an allergic reaction. Check to see if your soaps have changed or your routines of the frequency of showers. Deodorants can cause the itch as well (ie allergic reaction). Try taking a shower and no deodorant for a day or two and see if this resolves.

Question 7

i have sores on my right armpit and leg and on my left knee they are itchy at night and leak clear fluids. i don't know what they are or how to help.

Accepted Answer

Clear fluid is prob: nothing. cells contain fluid as does the space around the cells so this may be nothing. but sores concern me. I would see dermatologist to determine cause of sores, Apply topical antibiotic and cover with bandaid until you see someone. If lesions heal with topicals you may be scratching at night and opening your skin. Check any animals for fleas

Question 8

i have  a big lump under my left armpit that is very itchy and looks irritated what can  i put  on it since im pregnant? im having trouble sleeping at night because it hurts when i turn to that side

Accepted Answer

Talk to your OB: The lump under your arm could be breast tissue called the axillary tail of Spence which can become engorged or could be an abcess or lymph nodes fighting off an infection. The itching is likely to be a skin issue. Since you are pregnant but don't memtion how far along, it is difficult to narrow this down.Your OB is the one to best help with this. Call today. Don't wait for your next appointment.

Question 9

swoll node left armpit 1 week. soreness in right pit but no node. today sore throat . night sweats and itchy vulva w bumps 2 to 3 mo. no fever 42y/o f?

Accepted Answer

Lymphadenopathy: No way to know why you are having these symptoms without a full history and physical exam and perhaps some labs.  Doubt that these are all necessarily related to each other. Go see your family doctor.
