    Lump in Armpit

    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.

    Not real worried about it but thought I would post this to see what you guys think.

    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.....

    peace bb79

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
