Hello,\nFirst of all don't worry about all those comments. I don't think it is a lymph node as they are deep and will not cause obvious swelling. The most likely cause is an infection of the sweat glands, Hidradenitis suppurativa is an annoying chronic condition characterised by swollen, painful, inflamed lesions in the armpits(also affects other areas) which affects 1-2% of the population.\nYou may need antibiotics but you need to see a doctor just to make sure it is not something else. \nGood luck

You have lymph nodes in your armpits that could have cysts on them.  They are located very near your breasts.  Dont' delay!  See a doctor immediately.

I know what you are going through, I also have that problem.  It's called hyperhidrosis.  I use a roll on liquid that dries your skin out.  Ask a dermitologist what you could do, there are a few different options.

If there is swelling too, could be an infected lymph node. You need to see your doctor.

Ok, did this start rather suddenly, does it itch?  Have you had contact with something new?...soap, lotion, etc.  sounds like an allergic reaction.  If your mouth or throat tingle or throat feels tight...GO TO THE ER.  If this is mild and does not progress tonite, you could try taking a Benadryl 25mg. tablet...can buy over the counter at Walmart or pharmacy.  Is there a walk in clinic in your town?  If not, call your doc ( there will be someonr taking call for the holiday) and see if he/she wants you to go to the ER or if there is an office or clinic you can go to.   Some hospitals have an Urgent Care Center in connection with the ER.  This would be an appropriate place to go.  You must have had skin contact with something you are allergic to.  Hope you do well.

If you haven't changed your shoes anytime recently (which might account for this discomfort) it's possible you're having an allergic reaction.  Since it seems to be localized to your instep, it's possible you've been bitten or stung by something.  Monitor the swelling, make sure it doesn't spread.  If it does, take an antihistamine (benadryl).\n\nChances are this is a bite of some kind if you haven't experienced an injury in this area.  Keep an eye on it and see the doctor, he/she may be able to give you something for it.

There were sites for various "remedies", but the most complete information is on the site in the sources section. It looks like the swelling is a symptom of something else and you should see a doctor if it doesn't go away by itself pretty quickly.

I get this when I'm suffering from some type of allergy. You may want to try some benedryl or other antihistimine to relieve it.

Facial swelling usually signifies an allergic reaction. Fluid retention is almost always peripheral, in the hands and feet. You need to see your doctor.

This is normal... As long as you don't smell funky. If you do, then go to the doctor. You should probably go to the doctor anyway. They can better educate you.

It depends on how big the area is. \nA small area may be an ingrown hair, a pimple, blocked sweat gland or even an insect bite.\nA bigger area, may indicate nerve hypersensitivity, subcutaneous bruising or tissue damage.\n\nThink back to when it started to happen and anything you did differently that day, or how you felt health wise. Some people find their skin is extra sensitive to touch, hot or cold when they are about to come down with a cold.

If it's near the aprocrine glands (arm pits, under breast, buttocks/groin area) then it's probably Hidradenitis Suppurativa. There is no cure but at least you'll know why you're getting them.

Its ounds like a muscle spasm.\n\nBut there is a chance that it could be a hernia or Lymphnode swelling.\n\nSuggestion is to see your Physician.\nhe will advice how to go about it.
