Okay... so... im 24 years old, and I started using secret clinical stregnth deoderant. Well, 2 weeks ago I had a lump under my arm that I believed was an ingrown hair... until it kept growing and growng, finally, I had a PA look at in the ER. They had to lance it because it had abcessed. Gross. Anyway, I have continued to use a different antipersperant. Now, I have 2 little lumps that feel like cysts under my right armpit. They formed 3 days ago. Now, today, my throat hurts really bad and I feel swollen under my jaw (lymph nodes). They aren't swollen out like golf balls but my throat is killing me. Any clue? Coincedence or is it the deodarent>? Or do I now have lymphoma?? I'm freaking out!! Some one help me!!

Sounds like purely a coincidence. When the cyst was lanced were you given antibiotics?

If you have a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes you need to be seen so that a strep test can be done to determine if you have strep.

Yes. I was put on a broad range antibiotic, and the area they lanced is all healed now.

Did you take it EXACTLY as directed? Time for a return visit to your doctor for a throat swab.
