Cyst?

Not a question to do with pregnancy but I’ve got 5 lumps under the skin in my armpit and I’ve never had them before. Just wondering if anyone has ever had this. I’m thinking it could only be from shaving my armpits? Not quite sure what to do or how to get rid of them😩

Probably lymph nodes? Any sign of infection? Are they mobile and soft? Are they painful?

@Isa how will I know if infected? They do hurt to touch yes and they’re covered by skin but the lumps feel hard underneath

Is the skin Red or Is there any discharge? Sometimes if you have shaved there may be some local skin infection that then causes the lymph nodes to swell up.. if you are unsure I would get your GP to have a look and see whether you need any treatment :) x
