Suggest Treatment For Lumps Under The Arm

I'm 18 years of age. I feel a throbbing lump under my arm, which I believe came from the usage of Secret deodorant because my mother used to have the problem. But I haven't used that deodorant in years, and I don't use deodorant as much anymore. But I get this occasional lump under my arm, but now I believe I feel a lump in my breast. What do you recommend?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

i suggest you use a hypoallergenic deodorant or the ones with low aluminum content. it seems that your underarm is very sensitive to those chemicals. it might be a case of beginning hidradenitis suppurativa. a medical consult for physical examination and management is recommended.

with regards to your breast lump, i suggest you consult with a general/breast surgeon and ask for a breast ultrasound to further evaluate your breast lump. this might just be a simple cyst, but a thorough examination and evaluation should be done first.

hope this helps.

good day!!
