There are small balls under the female armpits

There are several possible symptoms of small tumors growing under the armpits: small tumors grow for no reason under the armpits, which are painless and itchy, and grow inside the flesh. They have been there for a while, and you can't feel them at all if you don't squeeze them hard. I don't know what the cause is. Let’s read the corresponding article to discuss what the reason is.

1. Fibroma

Fibroids are malignant tumors derived from fibrous connective tissue. Due to the different components of fibroids, there may be fibroid uterine myoma, fibroadenoma, fibrolipoma and so on. If there are many capillaries in the tumor, it can be called a necrotic hemangioma. According to the amount of cell and fiber components, it can be divided into two types: fiber type and cell type. Because fibrous connective tissue is widely distributed in the human body and constitutes the spaces between the internal organs, fibroids can occur anywhere in the body. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are more common. The patient described a small tumor under his armpit, which was painless and very likely a fibroma, and was a fibroma growing in the subcutaneous tissue.

Clinical symptoms: Tumors of the skin and subcutaneous tissue are often round or oval lumps in clinical medicine, with a diameter ranging from mm to 1-2 cm, dark brown to brown-red, smooth or rough surface, no active symptoms, occasional itching, and rarely causing functional problems at the site of stress. It is common in the limbs, especially the calves, and can also occur in the trunk, often with rotation of the chest.

Production confirmation shows that vaccine diagnosis is not too difficult. The treatment is surgical removal and specimens are collected for pathological examination. It is very easy to remove the pedunculated private fibroids, but those from the superficial tissues increase the difficulty of surgery and preoperative intravenous preparation should be done.

Production treatment shows that the vaccine is a mild disease and is not likely to worsen. No treatment is required. If it is painful or small in number, it can be removed surgically. Multiple fibroids can be treated with intralesional corticosteroid injections or skin disease-relieving patches. The disease is not easy to be treated with cold or laser surgery.

2Molluscum contagiosum

Molluscum contagiosum is an infectious skin disease caused by infection with the molluscum contagiosum virus. The skin lesions mainly manifest as papules or masses with a characteristic waxy luster, a dent on the top, and the ability to squeeze out cheesy molluscum bodies. Molluscum contagiosum virus is a DNA virus in the poxvirus family. It is mainly transmitted through direct contact. Patients are usually infected in bathrooms or swimming pools. They can also be self-vaccinated or transmitted through sexual intercourse.

The production of clinical symptomatic vaccines is mostly seen in children and young people, with an incubation period of 14 days to 6 months. The lesions initially appear as milky white, hemispherical papules, which gradually expand to 5-10 mm, with a slightly concave center like an umbilicus, and a waxy luster. After puncturing the top, a milky white, cheese-like substance can be squeezed out, which is called molluscum body. The number of lesions is uncertain, and they may be scattered or clustered, and are generally combined with each other. It can occur in any part of the human body, but is most common in the neck, trunk, lower abdomen and reproductive organs. In most cases, the lesions will disappear on their own after 6 to 9 months, usually leaving no scars.

The diagnosis of the vaccine is based on the typical characteristics of skin lesions (top indentation like umbilicus, waxy luster, and the ability to squeeze out cheese-like substance), which is generally not difficult to diagnose. If necessary, the diagnosis can be made by finding characteristic molluscum bodies through pathophysiological examination of the skin lesions. Large skin lesions sometimes need to be distinguished from basal cell epithelial carcinoma, keratoacanthoma, and suppurative granulomatous inflammation.

Production treatment shows that vaccine treatment is preferably shaving, with the goal of completely squeezing out the molluscum bodies in the lesions, and then applying 2% iodine tincture to effectively remove the lesions. Other treatments such as liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, topical application of 3% phthalamide cream or cidofovir cream are also effective.

3 Skin tags

Small tumors grow under the armpits, which are the same color as the skin and itchy. Considered to be skin tags, skin tags are generally easy to grow in the folds of the skin such as the neck, armpits, etc.

A skin tag is a soft, pigmented growth that attaches to the surface of the skin through a thin stalk-like tissue. Its medical name is soft verruca. Skin tags are not skin cancer and will not turn into skin cancer. Typical skin tags are a characteristic of age and are very common in people over 45 years old. They are more common in women, tend to run in families, and are also common during pregnancy. Skin tags are most likely to develop in skin folds, on the neck, underarms, torso, under the breasts or in the genital area. If clothes or accessories rub against them, it may cause irritation and affect the appearance.

Clinical symptoms of vaccine skin tags are initially a small, soft lump on the surface of the skin. Over time, they grow into a flesh-pink lump that is attached to the surface of the skin by a pedicle and can easily move back and forth. If the skin tag is rubbed frequently, it may cause irritation, but it is not painful. If the skin tag is twisted at the pedicle, a blood clot may form inside it, and the skin tag may become increasingly painful.

Classification

(1) Multiple tumors are common on the face, neck, and armpits. The tumors are pea-sized to cherry-sized, smooth, soft, and have peduncles. The diameter is mostly 1 to 2 mm. The surface may have grooves. They are normal skin color, light yellow or dark red, and generally have no active symptoms.

(2) Separation is more common in the lower body, such as the groin and vulva. The lesions are usually solitary, pedunculated, cystic, and multiple in color.

Treatment options include removing the skin tag with sharp scissors, a knife, or sometimes removing it from the pedicle by freezing or burning it with liquid nitrogen. Chemical (aluminum chloride) or electrical (burning) methods can be used to activate blood circulation. Since skin tags are a cosmetic issue, not a medical one, the safest solution is not to remove them.

4 Tips

A small tumor grows under the armpit, and there are no other side effects. Since there are no pictures to reflect the situation, the experts here can only suggest some possible symptoms for everyone. However, the actual condition still needs to be accurately diagnosed in the hospital. Here we only hope that the majority of netizens can provide a convenient reference.
