The appearance of lumps under the armpit accompanied by keloid scarring can be caused by a variety of reasons. This may be related to skin infections, post-surgical complications, swollen lymph nodes, or other skin conditions. Skin infections such as folliculitis or sebaceous gland inflammation can cause local redness, swelling, and pain, sometimes leading to scarring. After surgery or trauma, keloid scarring may occur in the armpit area, usually accompanied by mild pain or discomfort. Swollen lymph nodes can also cause lumps under the armpit; this is usually related to infection or inflammation, and accompanying symptoms may include local heat, redness, and swelling.
Besides the situations mentioned above, keloid scarring under the armpits may also be related to certain skin conditions, such as keloids or fibromas. These conditions usually present as hard lumps, possibly accompanied by mild pain or itching. While these symptoms are mostly benign, if the lumps rapidly enlarge, harden, become accompanied by severe pain, or show signs of infection such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain, immediate medical attention is necessary for further examination.
[Prevention Tips:]
1. Keep the underarm area clean and dry to avoid bacterial infection.
2. Avoid frequent friction and irritation in the armpit area to reduce the risk of scar hyperplasia.
3. Regularly check the armpit area, pay attention to any abnormal changes, and seek medical advice promptly.
