I have a small peasize lump in my armpit for about two months now. I feels hard and moveable I can grip it as it seems under the skin. Should I have this investigated.
I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter. Only a doctor can make a medical assessment so we would always encourage people to make an appointment to see their GP.
A lump can be caused by various reasons, such as a local skin infection, blocked hair follicle, or a blocked or inflamed lymph gland (lymph node). Sometimes a lymph node comes up in response to a recent bacterial or viral infection elsewhere in the body even when a person feels well. They tend to go down or disappear after several weeks.
