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.
Armpit lumps, or enlargements of one or both of the lymph nodes under the arm, can be cancerous, but may also be an indication of a viral infection such as shingles or chickenpox, a skin irritation stemming from shaving, an allergic reaction to deodorant or other products, or a cyst or boil.
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. These show up as bumps from smaller than a dime in size to almost as big as a quarter and they almost always are painful. Mine stay consistently hard, and are very uncomfortable.
