Lump !! Help please
Posted , 4 users are following.
i'm having this lump in my left armpit for almost a year, it's not an ingrown hair , i thought it's a one but it's not , also in that place i don't have hair growing up so and it's kinda between my armpit and my breast , i'm so afraid it could be cancer because already in my left breast i have an inverted nipple and i read that inverted nipples could be a reason for breast cancer, I'm freaked out..i usually wax my underarm hair and i never shave but now i stopped waxing it because of this lump i have and because my armpits is soo itchy and red , i don't understand what's that , what could it be? also if you notice i have red patches in my skin close to the lump , i just noticed them today , please help whats that???? is it a swollen lymph? i don't think so because this lump bleeds sometimes 😦

Instead of worrying about it why not go to a dermatologist and find out? I would worry about that too.

It could be a cyst. Does it feel hard or soft like fluid filled? If you have had this for a year I don't think it's cancer. Did it change at all over the year?

if the hair has got stuck it can firm a mini abcess, same with a blocked sweat gland. your gp can extract it no problem

Hi I think it's skin irritation and a blackhead clogged pore (comedo ).
