Can Antiperspirant Cause Movable Knot In Armpit?
About 3 weeks ago I used antiperspirant and developed a knot in my armpit. It was moveable. The knot has slowly gone down but from my elbow to my armpit area feels like someone is squeezing a nerve. The knot happened a month or two ago when using antiperspirant. I usually use a crystal deodorant. What could be happening and is it caused by the antiperspirant?

Hello,
This knot is an enlarged lymph node.An antiperspirant wont cause it.It is caused by local infection.See doctor for this.Rarely cancer can also cause knots in armpit.Regards.
