Have a swollen lymph in my right armpit area, or i believe so , and its small. also, its a little red, and do not see a "head" like i do from an ingrown hair or pimple. its painful to touch, no other symptoms. cancer? the pain is getting better?

These are often minor pustules that arise when skin germs invade sweat pores or hair roots. Local lymph glands can also become infected the same way. A warm compress several times a day can often allow improved blood flow that promotes self- healing. I have never heard or read of a case like this that was cancer.

Your self-diagnosis of a lymph node might be wrong. It could be an infected skin gland or something else Pl see your MD or a surgeon. From your description not cancer
