Milk ducts under arms???

[Ngala]

Hey Michelle,

I actually have a lump in my underarm too but I dont think it has anything to do with prgncy cause I got one a few years ago. I dont think it is anything bad and should go away after time. I was meant to mention it to my doc last visit but forgot so dont know exactly what it is!

Just looked on the net and this is what I found..

Swollen Lymph nodes
The lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system that is part of the immune system. Lymph nodes often swell in response to infection or disease. Sometimes this is somewhat inaccurately called "swollen glands" (lymph nodes are not glands; they do not secrete anything). The most common locations of lymph node swelling are in the neck, groin and underarm, though many other locations are possible.

Numerous conditions and infections can cause swollen lymph nodes including:
Common cold
Infections
Viruses

OR it could even be this...

The lump could be what is known as a sebaceous cyst – a build-up of the oily substance secreted in hair follicles. Sebaceous cysts usually just disappear on their own, though they can require treatment if they become infected and sore.

Would probably be best to get it checked out to find out exactly what it is! And also tell me cause my next visit to GP isnt for another 4 wks
