What Causes Recurring Lumps In Armpit, Nipple Area And On Breast?
Hi there, I'm a 17 year old female and it was about 3 months ago when I got a pea sized lump under the skin in my armpit then over time it dissappeared and move to the voice box area of my neck then I got 2 on my upper arms. They have not come back since then till now. I now have the same painful lump under the left armpit and today my right breast felt the same pain and there is a small under the skin lump in the nipple area. Thinking about going to the doctors as now sure what it is.. thanks.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Keeping your age in mind, i think its some thing to do with infection / inflammation the breast. Abscess do have similar picture but with fever.
2.The axillary region lumps and neck lumps might be because of lymph node enlargement.
3.If you are my patient i would have examined and then order for a ultrasound scan - which will characterise the lesion and gives the extensions. And will evaluate the lymph nodal status.
4.Depending on the findings. Starting from antibiotic treatment to incision and drainage is treatment of choice.
5.So get an appointment and get needful treatment and investigations.
6.Do not delay, as they do complicate.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
