Lump under armpit

Hi there,

I recently found a lump under my armpit. It is the size of a small marble. Due to the current situation with coronavirus I have not been examined by a doctor. I was able to talk to her via video call. She has prescribed antibiotics. I am really worried. It is not red or angry looking and is a firm lump to touch. Does anybody have similar stories to share?

  • Hi Lolstar,

    I'm having a similar situation with a lump on the right side of my neck. I was examined by a doctor 6 weeks ago and she felt it was nothing sinister, but when she checked my throat it was red and inflamed. The lump is still there so I phoned the doctor on Monday and they prescribed a course of antibiotics as the infection may be more deep seated. I'm just waiting for the antibiotics to work, it's a 10 day course. I also had blood work done the last time and all came back normal. I had another blood test on Wednesday so will know the results on Monday. I understand completely how stressful and worrying it is. 

  • I have the same problem lolstar I'm 20 years old I fount a swollen lymph node under my right armpit it's small moveable and feels firm I also have one on right side of my neck small moveable but feels softer so I'm freaking out I have had a body wide eczema flare up ongoing for at least 9 months without any antibiotics to ease the inflammation so I'm putting it down to that but I'm freaking out like you to cause google says lymphoma and stuff i do smoke aswell only for under a year but still scary especially when I'm very physically active all my life and drink tons of water daily i think it's best if we get antibiotics and see how that goes and I also think we need blood tests to make sure everything is fine you like me probably feel really healthy and fit but just to check would ease our minds hopefully the antibiotics work for you and I need to get some myself cause the stress is killing me hopefully they work and we're fine
