Armpit lump

Hi!

A few months ago I noticed a lump in my left armpit. The lumps is on the edge of my armpit closer to the breast but it feels like its underneath nerves/muscle or fat whatever is in the armpit (sorry it's so hard to describe it would be so much easier if I could show a photo of it) it isn't painful but my armpit does ache sometimes but not all the time. I am 29, I'm on the pill (microgynon) and I don't know much about my family history so don't know if cancer runs in the family. If anyone has had anything similar, I would really appreciate any help or advice  

Thank you for taking the time to read!

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    I think the best thing to do now is to make a GP appointment. If your GP needs to see it they may ask you to take a photo or to go in and get it checked out. I am afraid that we cannot diagnose you so please do not send pictures.

    I hope you can get this checked and nothing serious is the matter.

    Take care,
