Help! Ive jus noticed a small pea-like lump at the top of my armpit. i use a very strong anti-perspirant called odaban for excessive sweating- could this be linked to it?

    i had this a few weeks ago, if you do a search you should find what people said to me, mine went away within a week.

    i would just keep an eye on it. if it doesnt go away in a few weeks(4ish) pop along to your docs, just to be safe and see what he/she thinks.

    ..is it sore?

    it's probably just an ingrown hair, or an inclusion of some kind but if it persists then go see your gp.

    Odaban works by blocking the sweat glands..
    Could be related.
    Leave the odaban of for a while and have it checked out in a week or so if it has not went away

    its probably just a blocked pore but keep an eye on it, make sure it doesnt change place or size etc...

    I think I had this a few years ago and it was a cyst of some sort...
