Lump under the armpit

Hi all 

im 35 and found a lump under my right arm. My breasts feel absolutely fine. It's only tender when i prod it. It seems to get bigger after a shower. I am terrible with shaving under my armpits. It not so much a ball shaped as a longer lump and soft to touch but doesn't move around. I did have covid about 8 weeks ago but not had anything until about 1.5 weeks ago. Its not getting any bigger. Do your think this is anything to worry about? 

  • Hello and thank you for posting

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter. Symptoms can often have straightforward medical explanations. Sometimes a lump can develop in response to a recent bacterial or viral infection elsewhere in the body. It can sometimes take several weeks for the lump to subside and sometimes they might not go back to their original size.

    But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so the best thing to do is to make an appointment with your doctor to get checked out just to be on the safe side.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon. 

    Kind regards,
