Question 1

i have a small knot under my armpits and it doent hurt?

Accepted Answer

Might be a node: A small painless lump in your armpit may be just a lymph node. Unless you're getting more of them there or other places, it's growing,  or having other symptoms (rashes, fevers, sweats, etc), i wouldn't worry too much. If it doesn't go away over the next couple of weeks, you could have someone check just to be sure.

Question 2

i have a knot under my armpit i have squeezed it till pus oozed out and put a black piece of electrical tape on it to draw it out what should i do? it

Accepted Answer

Stop that: You need to have medical attention. You will most likely need an antibiotic. So stop touching the area take off the tape and see your doctor

Question 3

why do i have a knot under my armpit & beside my vagina ?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes.

Question 4

i have a knot under my armpit... i believe is from my breasts hematoma. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Not typically normal: Breast hematoma implies a blood collection or bruising either after surgery or some trauma. Have you had any of it recently ? More commonly a knot in armpit is either from a simple  cyst or lymph node or infected hair follicle.

Question 5

i have pain medium knot under my armpit n its really sore can barely put my arm down i get them all the time but will not leave for good what are they?

Accepted Answer

Likely hydradenitis,: an inflammation of the glands in your armpit.  Some people are just prone to this (like some people are prone to acne or migraines).  They hurt more if they become infected and may require drainage and/or antibiotics.  They only way to get rid of them for good is to have them surgically removed.

Question 6

i have had a small painful knot under my armpit on and off for a week. now i am having a sharp pain in my nipple which has been hard for 2 daystraigh.?

Accepted Answer

Mastitis: At your age and it only two days of having symptoms, which are describing is some sort of inflammatory process. If we tie the two together, then some sort of inflammation or infection in the breast tissue  with secondary changes in the lymph glands in your armpit makes some sense.  In almost every case, your body will be able to manage this on its own.  If this doesn't resolve quickly see your md.

Question 7

concerned about a knot under my armpit. it's the size of a marble. it hurts through the arm, back and chest. pain is burning and stabbing.

Accepted Answer

Potentially serious: Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health. But, boils under the arm are very very common and cause hard, spherical knots and signs of infection. They Spread Quickly and need immediate surgical drainage. (ER's and urgent care centers treat them).

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Knot under arm: It sounds like a cyst. You need to see a dermatologist if it bothers you.
