Swollen Armpit

Hi All: one armpit is swollen and when I touch it I do feel a little lump. It is definitely under the skin and does not appear to be an ingrown hair. Google says it is a swollen lymph node from and infection that your body is fighting. I haven’t had any classic symptoms of being sick with fever, runny nose etc., but one of the reasons could be HIV or cancer. I have an appointment with my ob tomorrow and scared it could be either of those. Anyone experience something like this?

It’s pretty unlikely that your only symptom would be a swollen lymph node if you had hiv or cancer. It’s likely just an internal infection. You don’t need to have any other symptoms for that.

Hello. It is probably a swollen lymph node. You often won’t feel sick when you have them. So long as it goes away within the week it’s nothing to worry about but if not, go see your dr x
