Question 1

what's the cause for armpit lump in both arms for 2 months,no pain been tired lately and a bit of weight loss?however when i went to the doctor a few months ago when i already had weight loss my blood work was fine?

Accepted Answer

: I recommend being examined by your physician as lumps in both armpits suggest enlargement of lymph nodes. The enlarged nodes may also be present in your neck &amp; elsewhere. Associated fatigue as well as your age bracket raise the possibility of infectious mononucleosis, but other blood pathologies can also cause generalized lymph node enlargement.

Question 2

hi doctor, i have a lump at my arm pits , it is not sore , but it is there and very ugly looking.

also i'm breastfeeding, but my nipples are cracking and very sore and around the nipples the skin is dead and peels off.

Accepted Answer

Two issues: Cracked nipples are very common for breastfeeding women. There are many over the counter creams and ointments for this. Head to your local pharmacy and you will find one that works for you. The lump should be examined by your doctor. It may be a clogged milk duct since your are breastfeeding. An exam is needed to confirm

Question 3

i have a painful armpit lump?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities: There are a number of glandular structures in that area along with lymph nodes.The glands that support sweating &amp; odor production can become infected. The lymph glands in that area service the skin &amp; structures of that arm and shoulder. These can enlarge with local skin irritation, infections or other issues. An exam is likely needed to sort this out.

Question 4

how to treat armpit lump?

Accepted Answer

Get medical checkup: Armpit lumps can be due to infection or due to cancer. So be sure to get yourself a medical examination by a reliable physician who can help you to diagnose and treat this problem soon.

Question 5

what does a cancer-related armpit lump feel like?

Accepted Answer

Like a lump: I am not trying to be funny but often you cannot tell malignant vs. Non-malignant masses. Inflammed nodes are sometimes tender but don't depend on that. If you have palpable masses under the armpit, have 'em checked.  Best to you.

Question 6

i've had a armpit lump for 4+ years. it gets bigger then when i change diet it gets smaller. been itching alittle. do i have lymphoma? been worried.

Accepted Answer

Lymphoma unlikely: It is not feasible to say what it is, without examining you. However, if it has been there for 4 years and no other lumps have appeared, it is highly unlikely to be lymphoma. You should consult a doctor any way.

Question 7

breast and armpit lump and pain, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluation: Lumps involving breast/ arm pit should be medically evaluated. Take care.

Question 8

under armpit lump under skin pea size, currently hurting, multiple spots around and red area?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: What you described suggests acute inflammation of lymph node or a skin gland and may require antibiotic treatment to prevent spread of infection to other tissues.

Question 9

in men, does hidradenitis suppurativa come back after removing the first ever armpit lump surgically (no redness or blackness)? the lump is the size of a marble and currently painful to touch.

Accepted Answer

Chronic disease:  Unfortunately hidradenitis super diva is a chronic disease and the rate of success of surgery is not the best. The skin forms abnormal tunnels and scars That go deep and allow the lesions to reproduce. New lesions are always forming on the surrounding areas because the condition is chronic and triggered by hormones. The new  biological monoclonal meds. are very successful.Go to your DERMATOLOGIST
