Accepted Answer

Hidradenitis: What you describe is most suggestive of Hidradenitis suppurutiva which is a condition of recurrent skin infections usually from a bacteria called staph aureus.  Treatment often consists of aggressive daily hygeine with antibacterial scrubs and potentially a nasal or oral antibiotic as well to reduce recurrence rates.  A family doc, internist or dermatologist can diagnose and treat this condition.

Question 2

i have painful lumps under left armpit and one by my groin?

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes?: It is always concerning to have swollen lymph nodes so it is important to see your doctor to be sure it is not that. It could also be cysts, or a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa). This also requires specialized treatment, so you'll want to see a dermatologist for sure to get a diagnosis and proper therapy.

Question 3

3 small painless nodes in groin pea sized for a couple of weeks, also pain under armpit no lumps or swelling ?

Accepted Answer

Nodules?: Benign nodules tend to have smoother edges and have a more even color throughout as well as a more regular shape if they are growing or you are experiencing loss of weight, fever or any other symptom please see your care provider sometimes ultrasound is needed to define the type of tissue that's growing.

Question 4

what would cause me to all  of a sudden develop painful pea sized bumps/lumps in armpit and groin area including vulva , never had them all together?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Those are lymph nodes and become larger when your immune system has been activated by an infection.

Question 5

my 25 year old partner (male) over the last 2weeks has developed some lumps, 2 in his breast (right side) one in each armpit and another in his groin?

Accepted Answer

most likely: Most likely lymph node enlargement or viral infection. However, such lymph node swelling should be evaluated in person by a physician to determine whether further testing for diseses, such as lymphoma, are needed. I would recommend seeing a primary provider for evaluation.

Question 6

took truvada for 21 days, ended 4wks post exposure, hiv- rapid result at 11wks. at 13wks, felt pinhead size bilateral posterior cervical nodes, 3 small unilateral armpit lumps, bilateral matted fixed groin nodes. hiv? nodes came up at different times

Accepted Answer

Not HIV: Test results are far more reliable than symptoms in judging new HIV infections, and this pattern of possible lymph node inflammation symptoms doesn't fit HIV. See your doctor if your symptoms continue or you are otherwise concerned, but you can be sure HIV is not the cause.

Question 7

truvada 3-6wks post exp. 5wks, bilateral,firm matted groin node. 9wks- armpit lumps. 11wks (bilateral cervical nodes & rapid negative blood test. hiv?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor, as your symptoms warrant an evaluation.
Wish you good health!

Question 8

extremely sore burning left groin left testicle left armpit left shoulder stomach and painful burning lumps on left side of my neck please help?

Accepted Answer

Have it checked out: It sounds like you have a series of "lumps" or lymph nodes that are painful particularly on your left side. You should have it checked out to make sure there isn't an infection going on. Don't forget that the lymph nodes act as a drainage and filtration system to try to stop infection. They will swell and be painful. You also want to be sure the lymph nodes are not swollen because of cancer.

Question 9

pea size lumps on my neck, groin, and armpit, jaw and 2 behind my ear and also ear pain and sore throat and i had sex with this guy 3 months ago..

Accepted Answer

See doctor, get: tested. What you described warrants a more detailed investigation by physical examination and some blood tests. It is prudent that you see a doctor at your earliest. You have acquired a sexually transmitted infection.

Question 10

i don't know if these lumps are in my veins but i seem to have a few, 1 under my arm and a several around the groin area what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Lumps: Without being able to visualize or examine them it is impossible to say what they are.  You need to be examined by your doctor.
