Lumps under one armpit

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi all,

I started to notice these 3 lumps under my right armpit. They are not painful at all. Can anyone tell me what are these? Could they be enlarged lymph nodes? Do they look like benign or malignant? Should I be worried and consult a doctor.

Any feed back would be really appreciated.

    They are not lymph nodes and they look like skin tags which are totally harmless. If they do start to itch, bleed, scab or just get bigger and annoying then do see your doctor. They can be easily removed, but dont try to do it yourself.

    Ingrown hairs. You may need to speak to your doctor about options. It may become (or already be) something permanent. Alot of the time these spots do go away over time, but usually it takes a surgeon to remove them. The picture doesnt look like something serious. Speak to the doctor for options. They do not look infected.
