Little Ball In My Armpit?
Question:
I'm worried!!
Answers:
Does it feel like it's in the skin, or is it a lump below the skin that you can move around. If it's in the skin it's probably an ingrown hair. If it's under the skin it could be a swollen lymph node, in which case you need to be checked out my your Doctor ASAP.
go see a doctor girl...we can't help you from here
It could be any of those things...best bet go to a doctor! My friend had the same thing...she went and found it to be benign. Go put your mind at ease and at the same time keep on top of those issues.
If it's an ingrown hair or razor bump, it'll go away within a couple of days. Don't stress out just yet. But if it doesn't go away within a week or so, you need to have a doctor check it out.
See a Doctor for a diagnosis and stop worrying.
if it is small, and where your hair is it most likely a razor bump or ingrown hair.is the bump deep in the skin or on the surface?
It could be all of those things. But to be on the safe side, it's imperative that you go and see your doctor immediately.
don't panic. likely a swollen gland (minor infection?). it will go away on its own.
Could be a cyst even. But the only way to tell if it's cancer is go to the doctor.
It could be any of those things and more. Go have it checked out, that's what doctors are for.
if it looks like a pimple most likely it is a razor bump, or ingrown hair... its its a bump UNDER the skin, it could be an infected lymph node. either way, go to the doctor to be safe.
If it is painful and red than yes it most likely is just an ingrown hair, razor bump. I used to get these quite often, my GYN said it was a lymph node that swelled and would go away on its own. It always did, it just hurt like crazy for a couple days. Good luck.
If it is well under the skin it is a gland that is playing up. The reason for this is that there is an infection of some sort or something amiss somewhere on the same side. Play it safe see your doctor. Even and ingrown hair that has become septic can cause your glands to swell.
Under the surface of the skin, like a mini-marshmallow under multiple layers of skin - probably a lymph node. Have it checked by a dr.
A little bump right on the surface of the skin, probably an ingrown hair, maybe a cyst.
I have a cyst on my shoulder. It looks awful, but the dr. says it's nothing. I could get it removed, but it would just be cosmetic. Mine is about the size of a pencil eraser.
could be a million and one things-- are you close to your period? may be a swollen lymph node.
ingrown hair
tumor
cyst
razor rash/pimple
if it lasts more than 2 weeks, see the dr
It happens to me all the time. It's a stuck gland. Doctor says to put a warm damp cloth on it to tell open it up. After a while I can get the puss out of it like a pimple. It's like a sweat gland that gets stuck shut and the sweat backs up in it. You wont die. Invest in a different deoderant.
