Hi, so I was concerned about the little lump under my arm. I thought it was a lyphm node but idk. I was paranoid about it but now I'm keeping calm. The answers inn my neck is doing better. Ok so my question is. The lump under my arm is little soft lump.the other day in the shower I squeezed it to see if anything came out and it did. A bit of puss and blood came out. Do lyphm nodes throw anything out. It could be a boil or whatever but it doesn't have a head just when I squeezed it stuff came out. I don't want to Google cuz to many things come up and I'll get paranoid and think the worst again

Hi joavila92,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Just wanted to let you know, I sometimes get small lumps under my arms, they usually resolve themselves in a few days. For me, it can just be a slight allergic reaction.

I would suggest to you, if the lump keeps bothering you, to go to your doctor. Sometimes just the act of going can be very helpful. It takes it out of your mind as a worry and places your concern in the hands of your doctor, who is trained to handle such problems.

Good luck and please post again so we know how things turned out.

Cheers,

Yes this one had been there for a month or so it doesn't hurt. But it did pop 2 days ago. The lump is abut smaller but it's still there. My doctor couldn't feel it when I went.I also went to the ER and they did feel it but they didn't seem concerned.just wanted to know if it's a lyphm node even though it threw out ppuss and blood

I am not a doctor, but if it popped and emitted puss and blood, then it sounds like it was a pimple, cyst or even an ingrown hair.

Like any pimple, it will take a couple of days for the swelling to go down. (the less you fuss it, the better and quicker it will heal)

If it gets worse, or starts to be red, more swollen or hot at the site of the bump, then you will have to go in and have it looked at.

Otherwise, I would keep it clean, leave it alone and just keep an eye on it.:)

You should be fine. Let us know how you are doing soon.

S.C.
