Dent underarm

Hi all just this am while shaving under my arm I seen quite a large dent right in my left armpit..   Only on left side and no lumps or bumps anywhere near it       I obviously panicked and straight on google lol

I phoned my gp who examined me straight away but is happy to watch and wait as no lumps near By.     Has any one experienced this and it went on to develop bumps?   Or anybody had anything similar and have an explanation pls

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

  • Hello Sonya, and thank you for posting.

    I'm afraid I don't know what has caused the dent in your armpit, or whether this means there is anything the matter.  Anyone who notices any persistent changes in their body that concerns them are best off speaking to their GP which you have done. They have assessed you and decided that for the moment watch and waiting is the best plan. If you notice any future changes that concern you do go back to the doctor.

    Unfortunately any symptom searched on the internet will mention cancer, but many different things can go on in the body that aren't necessarily anything sinister. 

    Take care Sonya, and do remember that anyone who comes forward with their experiences of this are talking about their own individual situation.
