Lump under armpit

I’m unsure if this is the right place to post bu I’ve found a lump under my armpit about 8 months ago. It was no bigger then a pea in size. But as the months have progressed the lump has grown it feels quite hard. It’s a realy big lump now but not visible if I was to put my arm up. It’s causing minimalistic pain once every 5 days and that’s normally when it enlargens and I think maybe it’s pressing against a nerve/vein. Not only that but my armpit has become a very slight shade of purple not too noticeable but I noticed it the other day. Should this be something I should be concerned of? 

  • Welcome to the forum Lily.

    It's good you've kept an eye on this lump Lily but if you're worried and have noticed changes then it may be worth booking an appointment to see your doctor as they will be able to examine it and let you know if it's any cause for concern.

    Fingers crossed it isn't anything sinister.

    Kind regards,
