Armpit lump

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.

  • Hi there 

    I have the same as you but noticed it this morning as my armpit felt sore, it is even more sore now as I have been squeezing and poking it all day, mine is under the skin and not noticeable on the outside. Going to call my GP Monday, always best to get it checked out xxx

    Hopefully you will have spoken to the GP now and got some further advice.

    Do try and not squeeze the area as it can make it more painful and cause some  inflammation. There's lots of reasons for lumps under the skin, including fatty lumps and blocked hair follicles, as well as the ones mentioned by Nurse Celene in the previous post, so try and not worry too much about this if you can.

    I hope you are able to get it checked out

    All the best
