Prod prod, poke poke
The poor doctor man has poked and prodded my sweaty armpits – I had a wait with people going in ahead of me, just cos I work in a hospital doesn’t mean I relish the thought of being sick! and basically told me he has no idea what’s wrong with me.
It could be a gland, an abscess or a cyst. If it’s a cyst then it might grow, if it’s an abscess it’ll undoubtedly become red and painful, if it’s a gland it should go away in a couple of weeks. Basically if it hasn’t got much worse or gone away then I need to go back. He also said he was reassured that I said it was tender because anything cancerous tends to be painless.
He also laughed with me when I said I was a haematology nurse, and we’re all paranoid cos we’ve seen what happens when people ignore lumps. I was grateful he didn’t laugh at me.

do you use a bra with wires in around the cup area? as this often can lead to an abscess under your arms as well as shaving also anything with a strong fragrance in it can also make your skin sore i tend to leave the abscess fill as if you pop it to early it pops inside instead of out use warm water to bring it out on skin or in a bottle and keep to loose clothes DON’T SHAVE as it makes it worse!
