Taking a shower today and noticed a knot in my armpit. It is not red and does not itch. Just a lump. Maybe just slightly tender.
Maybe I have armpit cancer or something.:D
Not real worried about it but thought I would post this to see what you guys think.
i would bet on cyst or clogged hair follicle....
hey bro,
i dont want to alarm you, but you have lymph nodes throughout your body, and some reside in your armpits. i tend to go with viper on this, but if the condition persists or worsens, i would look into getting it checked.
just a heads up.....

Sounds like a swolen or infected lymph node. I had that happen once a few years ago, the result of a spider bite on my forearm. It started as a small lump, and kept getting bigger and finally started itching a bit. Antibiotics cleared it right up.Quote:

Hey bro, go see a doctor!!! Everyone on this board can only guess at what the prob can be. Hell, if i found a lump anywhere the first thing i woud do is see a doc and not go to www.whatcoulditbe.com
co-worker of mine developed a similar lump as a result of a cat scratch (his own, thankfully) ... it did require anti-biotics to make it go away ... best see Mr. MD
PS. righton: good one, but have you gone to that site? it's not exactly what the name might suggest! LOL
That happened because I switched deodorants once... degree was some thick stuff. More like a rash than a lump though.
I appreciate everyone's help. I guess I will go see a freaking doctor.
Good luck man. Probably nothing, but it never hurts to see a doc. I had some swollen lymph nodes one time, and it scared the hell out of me. Saw the doc, and they went away within a few weeks.
Hey Skid, i just made it up when i typed the post.:lol:
haha - I figured ... it fit so well, who would have known it was a real website!
PS - if any of you folks need some Biblical Study, History, or Archaeology information, it seems to be a pretty robust site!

I wouldn't worry too much. I get it once in a while on my stomach or chest. Feels like a knot under the skin and goes away in a couple weeks. I think you bring it on when you trim or shave in that area.
good luck
