Gauges can take anywhere from four days to two weeks to heal. It is best to wait about one week until you change or go up a size in gauges, so that they can continue to heal p â¦ roperly and avoid infections.
Whether you feel these lumps may be cancerous or common, I highly advise you to see your physician and accordingly, the doctor may or may not order additional testss. However, If the lump is painful and can be rolled around chances are, it may be a cyst of some kind and can be easily treated.
I have the lymph nodes in my armpits that swell from time to time due to certain deodorants I use that I must be allergic too.
