3 weeks ago I went out with my husband and I had a couple of drinks , and I woke the next morning with a small painful cysts in my armpit , this worried me straight away but I tried to reassure myself it as due to hormones after starting a new pill after having my baby and also new deodorant

I went out last night and had a few more drinks , I was just had a shower and noticed a small painful lump again , it feels like a cyst but I am not 100% sure , Ans now I am paranoid about lymphoma as I know alcohol can affect this .

    get it checked! But I have had this when my immune system is out of whack. But always check a lump 8n that area. I have always been clear of cancer and had swelling there a lot. x

    It could be a lump that was formed from cutting hairs under the armpit. If it comes and goes its not a problem, and if it feels painful then it might be something that is formed from cut hairs, not entirely cancer. Its good to talk to your doctor.
