Lumps in armpits

2 replies

Not sure if i should be worried or not. I've found a lump under earch armpit - i think the may be a gland or something, but they haven't previously been enlarged or tender as they are now. The lump under my right armpit is about the size of a pea, but under the left it's bigger, about the size of my top thumb knuckle.

I had a baby a week ago - could this have caused the lumps to appear?

Something to worry about or forget about???

Might be lymph nodes?

Possibly as a result of infection there or elsewhere in the body. Or even an immune reaction to childbirth/breastfeeding/not bfing.

WOrth getting looked at, yes, but not to keep you awake.

Other possibility is fatty deposits, though less likely if bilateral. I am prone to these. Medics have no idea what causes them but they are harmless.

Best to get them checked out by the GP, could just be fat deposits or glands, best to let the GP say though

Congratulations by the way
