Painful lump in each arm

[willous1]

Hi, me again. There is always something. Two days ago I got a painful lump under the skin appear in one armpit. Now there's a small one in a different place on the other armpit. I started using a roll on deodorant 2 weeks ago and have never used one. Could this be it or is it cancer? I hate google.

Sounds like you're making a reaction indeed. First step is to stop using that deo and see how it goes in the next days.

Have stopped using the deodorant but worried it may be cancer?

Have them examined if they don't disappear in the next days. Swollen lymph nodes are common, and usually come from a small infection or inflammation (like an allergic reaction).

Thanks, have taken your advice. There is another small lump I have found now. The big lump is so painful and annoying. Could it be cancer?

I had the exact same thing. Sounds like they're just spots, give it a few days and they'll go down. Maybe try some spot cream or toothpaste to speed things up. Cancer lumps usually aren't painful.
