Women's armpit bulge is still a little painful

Some women have lumps and slight pain under their armpits. We should pay great attention to such conditions. The common causes are sebaceous cysts and combined infections. Such conditions often cause pain, swelling, etc. There are also purulent infections of single hair follicles and surrounding tissues. Let's take a look at it below.

Common reasons for women's armpit swelling and slight pain:

First, sebaceous cyst combined with infection is because the opening of the sebaceous gland duct in the hair follicle is blocked, the sebaceous gland is retained, the volume of the cyst gradually expands, the sebaceous cyst is formed and infected, and symptoms such as pain, swelling, and unclear boundaries often occur.

Second, epidermoid cysts are mostly caused by local trauma, which causes skin tissue to enter the subcutaneous tissue, gradually proliferate, and form cysts. The diagnosis can be confirmed by B-ultrasound examination.

The third point is the purulent infection of a single hair follicle and its surrounding tissue. If multiple hair follicles combine with each other, carbuncle will form.

What should I do if my armpit sebaceous cyst is infected?

1. If patients with sebaceous cysts develop infection or inflammation at the affected area, they need to be treated immediately. If a cyst has already formed at the affected part, it is necessary to see a doctor for incision and drainage! However, if the affected part of the patient has not formed a cyst, then the doctor can take antibiotics and other therapeutic drugs to control the infection! After the inflammation and edema of the affected part have completely disappeared, surgery can be performed at one time to completely eliminate the problem!

2. After the incision and drainage surgery for patients with sebaceous cyst infection, a drainage tube is placed in the wound to drain the inflammatory exudate and pus, promoting wound cleaning and healing. Generally, the wound is basically cleaned three days after the dressing is changed, and red granulation tissue will grow. However, when changing the drainage tube, it is still necessary to clean and disinfect the inside of the wound briefly, which can promote faster healing of the wound.

3. Patients with sebaceous cysts should maintain daily facial and body cleansing, use cleansing cream suitable for their skin type to wash the body, and gently massage the patient's area during cleaning, which is beneficial to the patency of skin pores. Pay more attention to diet in life, eat more vegetables and fruits, and try to eat less fried, high-calorie and spicy foods. Quit smoking and drinking, exercise, and get enough rest.
