Swelling underarm

2025-03-22 17:59:18
Hello doctor I am 39 years old. I suddenly got up from bed and in the evening I felt something like a swelling in my armpit. Then I checked and it was swelling and not pain. Why did this happen? Last night I had a 13 hour tour during which this hand was stretched for 2-4 hours.

If it is a defined swelling and if it persists even after 2 to 3 days   ,  kindly take ultrasound of axilla so as to know the type of swelling

**Response:**  **Answer:**  The **sudden, painless swelling** in your armpit could be due to several causes, but given your recent long journey with arm stretching, the most likely explanations are:  1. **Lymph Node Swelling (Reactive Lymphadenopathy)** – Possibly due to minor infection or irritation.  2. **Muscle Strain or Cyst** – From prolonged arm positioning during travel.  3. **Blocked Sweat Gland (Hidradenitis)** – If the swelling is tender or red.  4. **Lipoma (Fatty Lump)** – Soft, movable, and benign.  ### **Next Steps:**  ✔ **Self-Check:**     - Monitor for **pain, redness, or fever** (signs of infection).     - Check if the lump is **firm, movable, or growing**.  ✔ **When to Worry?**     - If swelling **persists beyond 1-2 weeks** or grows larger.     - If you develop **fever, night sweats, or weight loss**.  ### **Recommended Action:**  - Apply a **warm compress** 2-3 times daily.  - Avoid **tight clothing or excessive pressure** on the area.  - If no improvement in **3-5 days**, consult a doctor for **ultrasound or blood tests**.  ### **Consultation:**  For a **proper diagnosis and imaging if needed**, contact me on **WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two**. Most cases are harmless, but evaluation ensures peace of mind.
