Really don't know if this is the correct
section, But i decided to post here
because i think it could be something with
sweat glands or what not. And maybe
someone else can relate.
For the past few days i have had this
weird lump under my skin about 4 inches
down from the pit, it moves around much
like something is in there, like tissue of
some sort. It is fairly large, One thing
was i think it is a swollen muscle because
i worked out yesterday which i havent done
in a while but i want to be in shape, so
maybe it could be a swollen muscle, i
mean, my chest muscles still hurt from
working out since im not used to the
strain.
i obviously know this isnt any tumor of
any sort, because im 14 and was just at
the doctor and got blood tests for a
wellness check and everything turned out
fine.
but ive only seemed to notice this since i
worked out.
So what could it be?
Swollen sweat gland, Muscle, or node?
I ave no idea nd hope someone can relate
or provide me with some info.
Thanks

If the lump does not go away you need to
tell your parents and get back in to the
doctor. You have glands and lymph nodes
near the arm pits. They can become
enlarged for many reasons but one being
that they are helping your body fight off
infection (like a cold). The other side of
the coin is that persistent swollen lymph
nodes can signal serious conditions and
need medical attention right away. The
blood work your doctor did is not going to
reveal anything with the lump under your
arm. There are very specific blood tests
done to look at what may be causing the
swelling. Keep an eye on it. If it is
still there in 5-7 days tell your parents
and get in to the doctor.
