I have a lump right below my armpit. I squeezed it and pus and blood came out. Anything to worry about?

This happened to me once, only it was a bigger lump than your average pimple, and I didn't squeeze it like you did. I asked my doctor about it and she said it was more than likely a cyst caused by an ingrown hair due to irritation of the hair follicle caused by either too much shaving or shaving with a product that irritated my skin. She said that it would go away on its own (and suggested I not shave on that side for a few weeks to limit the irritation, which I heeded because I really wanted it to go away) and within about a month, it was all gone! If it seems like it's just a pimple then it probably is one, but if it's bigger than that it never hurts to check with a doctor!

All lumps are not cancer. That might even be a small hydrocoele(fluid in your ball-due to trauma) Sometimes even a lipoma or sebaceous cyst may be there Dont worry about the terms though tey may appear terrifyng they are benign.Go to your surgeon . They would let you know

I've had something that sounds like what you have a couple of times. It was on my outer labia and both times It ended up being an infected hair follicle. In my case, I could see an actual small hair sticking up near the middle of the bump with a little bit of white around it. First I wiped the area with a little bit of alcohol and a Q-tip to cleanse the area. Then I took a pair of tweezers and pulled the piece of hair out (pinching the skin up with my other hand). As soon as I pulled the piece of hair out, pus came out. I squeezed it gently (as it was painful) to get the pus out (until I saw a bit of blood, so I knew I had all the pus out). Then I took a Q-tip and a little alcohol and wiped the area to clean the spot and put a fresh pair of cotton undies on. I've heard of people getting ingrown hairs there as well, so it could be something a doctor might need to help you with if that's the case. If you think it might be a pimple, you might try putting warm wet compresses on the area. Don't squeeze though, as if you don't see any type of white head you could make it worse (it could be a boil).

if its round and movable under the skin, its most likely a lipoma, which is harmless and common.  it might hurt because you've been touching it and rubbing it a lot, or it may be something worse.  definitely get it checked out, if anything, to ease your mind.  Best of luck!

I had it done in my endocrinologists' office .It was over quickly and relatively painless. There was no bleeding ; and the nodule shrunk on my last visit .It does tend to make you nervous; but I learned they are very common .Mine turned up on a routine series of preventative exams .

It's probably piles, love. Go to your doctor, bite the bullet as they say, and let him have a look. You can get cream for it. I can't imagine it's particularly pleasant but is it pleasant sitting there thinking you've got cancer?

Go to the Dr.!   \n\nI have lipomas, they sound bad but are really just fatty lumps under the skin.  My brother in law had some removed. Cysts are common too, and usually are not malignant but you need to get it checked out. My husband has had one removed, he was fine.\n\nYou need to get these checked out to make sure they aren't cancer, especially if it's in the breast area.  This will help you stop worrying and to realize what's going on.

You should go to the doctor. You might have an infection.

It sounds like a cyst. I had one on my finger and went to a dermatologist and they took it off. Have it checked out to be on the safe side.Don't sweat it.

Not necessarily, you may have no pain at all.  If you have a lump of any kind, you really need to go see your doctor.

Possibly something has gotten under your skin, such as a tiny splinter or other irritant without you realizing it, and the bump is your body forming scar tissue around the "foreign object". This is just one possibility of many. Without seeing it or having more details, it's really hard to tell what it is.

don't worry about it.  like your family has said it's just a swollen gland.  \n\nwhen you get sick, the bacteria or viruses that are making you sick travel through your lymph system and get stuck in the nodes.  your cells of your immune system travel there to fight the infection.  but they don't leave after, they just slowly die off.  so that's what's going on here.\n\nif you're really worried, you can just have it checked the next time you see your doctor and they'll tell you pretty much the same thing.  \n\nhowever, if it ever hurts when you push on it (which you say it doesn't right now) then you should think about seeing a doctor for it. \n\nfor now, rest easy, you've got nothing to worry about.

Inside under the arm or outside? My comments below are in regards to inside and under the armpit.\n\nThen this  could swollen lymph nodes - which indicates that some process is going on in your body.  Normally those swellings disappear if the problem is temporary, like a sever flu. And then they are on both sides of the body and you notice the problems in general. \n\nNow - your knot is only under one arm, right? And it is not going away? You do not have an ongoing infection at your hand/nails/arm?  I do not want to make you overly concerned - but it could be a sign of a very serious issue. If I would be you I would have a doctor check it out. \n\nPlease note - all of that only refers to the assumption that the know is under the armpit and inside.

It might be a cyst. These are big red lumps that don't come to a head and they hurt.\n\nDon't push it, squeeze or mess with it. If it doesn't go away, go to a local doctor who can inject it with a tiny needle full of hydrocortisone to shrink it. Cysts can make nasty scars if you fool around with them.

there could be some infection there. Just put a clean dry dressing on every day. do not use neopsorin on it. This just keeps the area wet. Give it a couple more days. What you could do is take a pen and mark the area of redness on your arm and if the redness goes out of this area you know it is getting bigger and should probably get on an antibiotic. Sometimes the trauma to the area can cause it to be red. This is not always a sign of infection. If you start to notice a large amount of puss like drainage and redness, then get to a dr.

Go the Doctor. Worrying will make it a lot worse

Well, that is a pretty strong indication of an infection.  You should see a doctor and watch your personal hygiene more closely.  Showering every day and wiping out your belly button when you are done is a good start.
