What Causes Lumps In Armpit?
i have a lump in my armpit about the size of a pea or smaller and it's been there for about a month now. i noticed it during the night and it hurt for the next 2 days and after that it stopped hurting but is still there. Is this something that needs to be checked out?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Your symptoms and locations more in favour of lymph nodal enlargement.
2.Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in case of infection / inflammations and any underlying systemic causes and local area infection/inflammation.
3.Lumps with pain, fever are furuncle / carbuncle. Other cause lipomas (fat)
4.if there is any fever or any underlying medical conditions treat the cause.
5.If not reducing , get an appointment and an ultrasound scan to characterisation of the lesion.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that this may be infective boil the chances of folliculitis is more than Lymph node swelling and this could be best treated with Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day, no need to worry about this, have a nice day.
