Bump From Hell! Help! - Skin Problems Message Board

I have a bump under my arm which I have not been able to figure out what it is. I feel like I have a cancerous growth under my arms right about now. It's about the volume of a grape, although a little flatter. It is extremely painful. I do not know if it an allergic reaction to deodorant or whatnot, but any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I really don't know whether it is serious or not. Like you mentioned it could be an allergic reaction. It would be a good idea to have you dr. check it out. My prayers are with you.

It's most likely a cyst. The deodorant you use can clog a pore causing it. Try applying hot moist towels to see if it comes to a head. If a spot turns white, then its a cyst. Just keep applying hot towels until the fluid drains out... immediate releif!
