What Causes Pulling Sensation In Left Armpit?
My left arm pit has a sensation of the air being pulled, it is tender when I touch the spot but no sign of rash or actual pulled hairs. I am a female, and I do not shave my arm pits. I used to get really bad ingrown hairs when I did. I don t think there is a lump on that side. I am not on my period. Should I go to the doctor or is this normal?

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Possibility of slight pulling the hair without leaving any signs of redness or inflammation are high. It is because you don't shave your armpits and have not provided any details of using hair removal creams etc. So assuming that you have long hair in armpits, make it very usual to get them strangled and causing a feeling of being pulled or pinched.
Another reason may be pain due to some disease involving the lymph nodes of the Axillary region (armpits). And you need to consult your physician for complete evaluation and confirmation if there is some breast disorder or any kind of axillary lymphatic involvement.
Final suggestion:-
Consult your physician for complete evaluation and confirmation after ruling out the breast disease or lymph nodal involvement.
Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime & I will get back to you in no time. Please give a positive feedback.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards!
