Painful armpit lumps!

Anyone else get these?! Never had anything like it before and have now had 3 in slightly different places in my right armpit over the last month. They go away after a week or so. V annoying so any tips to prevent or get rid would be grand!

I get these. Change your deodorant. I used Mitchum for years with no problems then started the lumps. Changed to something else (can’t remember which) and that was ok for a bit but then, lumps. Changed to Vichy having seen it recommended on here and now, no lumps, rashes or soreness.

I use Nivea the pink version and it’s fine, but anything else and I’m lumpy as anything.

Armpit lumps always be checked by a GP to be safe.

I've used the same Deodorant for years I'll be so sad if they've changed the ingredient!

Not sure. They're clearly not cancerous as they go away on their own. A bit sore but not agony. Pretty sure it's not necessary to trek down to the GP.

They may not have changed the formulation, it could just be that you’ve developed a reaction to it.

I'll try a different one and see if it helps. Ta!
