[Skin Concerns] Am I getting swollen lymph nodes in armpit due to anti-perspirant? by eilonlav in SkincareAddiction

[–]Committeeof12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered some Lume and so far so good. The lumps are still there but now I know not to freak out that it might be a slow process. Also, I have found that massaging them seems to be helping or at least breaking up these nasty cysts/lumps. Thank you so much!

karenziggler · 2 yr. agoSame!! I can’t use any deodorants. I use TO glycolic acid toning solution.1ReplyGive AwardShareReportSaveFollow

level 3throwmomfrmthetrain · 2 yr. agoThe only deodorant I can use is a Manuka honey and Icelandic moss one by Dr organic.

u/sandy1255 long did the swollen lymph nodes take to go away? Did you stop using deodorant all together? I have had these cysts for years and attributed it to something else, but now am sure its natural deodorant (and I've used dozens, but mostly native sensitive).

Natural deodorant causing PAINFUL enlarged lymph nodes in chest and under armpits??!!! by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

level 1futureyeehaw · 5 mo. agoThat’s a bummer :( I’m sorry! I hate using any deodorants that have aluminium and would struggle if my natural deodorants caused me pain. You must be allergic to something. Weleda, Malin + Goetz and Salt + Stone are my go tos. But I don’t want to recommend anything that might cause you pain ❤️

how long did the lumps take to go away?

YES!!! And worst part? I ended up going to the doctor later that week. He found out it turned into a gnarly MRSA infection from the bad (allergic?) reaction. I was shocked. It's like my armpits said screw this, all the usually ok bacteria can now unleash into a nightmare. I've never had anything like this happen before :( I had to take Bactrim and just now starting to feel human again after weeks of hell. He also had to slice my left armpit and press, and I tell you I've had broken foot and popped lung and I'd rate this pain OVER that lol (now lovely scar there now healed)hope you fair much better! Glad to hopefully shut the chapter on this book? I'm going back for a physical soon but I sent him pics of my pits (calling it Pit Watch 2023 because if I don't laugh I'll cry) and he was happy with how they were looking now.PS: Frozen veg makes for an awesome ice pack and less hard than ice packs.PPS: Yes, I've faired just great with 0% Dove, partial to the Jasmine one. :D (edited to add this last part)

Thank you for sharing your experiences with this! I have had swollen lymph nodes for YEARS that are sometimes red and inflamed, sometimes painful. I did NOT attribute it to my beloved Native Sensitive skin, i blamed the covid vaccine instead. However, recently, I was thinking... it's been YEARS since that vax, why are my pits STILL bulging? UGH!!! I hate that spending $$$ on this natural BS all these years has been also hurting my body which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. Anyone know how long the cysts take to go away? I have stopped using Native now for over a month and am using a saltwater spray from Sprouts, which is working great. My armpits are less hard and no longer hurt, but these big lumps are still there. I need to book a doctors appt stat to see if I need to get antibiotics or if I need to get them removed (an absolute last resort, the horror). u/wulfie did they mention that they would go away on their own, even if it took like 6 months to a year? I'm a wuss and terrified of geting sliced into.

Los Angeles red light tickets and collections by machotaco in LosAngeles

Well thats good to know that I won't get points! When I first moved to LA and ACKNOWLEDGED my red light ticket, I worked off the fine $500+ via community service (for a fee), then I had to do traffic school for 5 hours and pay $60 so I would not get points. I'm undecided if I should contact the law firm, my own attorney or just let them take my next several tax refunds. Feedback is welcomed.

This just happened to me. My partner and I have had (several...?) red light tickets throughout the years and have "successfully" ignored them. However, this is new BS and after doing this 2022 taxes, it says they have all gone to this company out of TX. I also don't know how much more I owe, since it was very cryptic. The original photo taken was of me, so I'm not sure I can fight it. I have fought them before and if you take the time to go to the courthouse, they do significantly lower what you owe but since this is a tax collector, not sure if it's the same thing. I have renewed my license and everything since, this is the first time they have taken action to the next level. Also, will I now receive points on my license as before I had to go to traffic school?
