The causes of bumps in the armpits after cesarean section may be paronychia, enlarged lymph nodes or skin infection.
1. Paramastia: Paramastia is a benign condition that mainly occurs in the armpits. After giving birth or during breastfeeding, the hormones in pregnant women’s bodies will change to a certain extent, leading to the formation of paratesticular glands. Symptoms are mainly manifested as localized lumps, which may also be accompanied by localized pain.
2. Enlarged lymph nodes: If you can’t breastfeed in time after a cesarean section, the milk will usually be stagnant, leading to mastitis and enlarged lymph nodes in the armpits, which can be red, swollen, hot and painful.
3. Skin infection: the sebaceous glands in the armpits secrete more vigorously, if the pregnant woman does not pay attention to local hygiene and cleanliness after delivery, the skin glands are blocked, which will form a localized chronic inflammation, resulting in the armpits long pimples.
If the symptoms of bumps in the armpits after cesarean section continue to be unrelieved, or accompanied by other symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time, after clarifying the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor to give targeted treatment.
