I've found a lump in my right armpit. I'm not sure how long it's been there. When should I go see my gp. I think it's an ingrown hair but I cant be certain. It hurt a little bit when I push into it

Hello Gwelsh.
We would suggest that anyone who has a lump that they are concerned about make an appointment to see their GP to get it checked.

Hi GWelsh,
A very warm welcome to our forum. If you have found a lump, you are as well to get it checked out. If you tell the receptionist that you need an urgent appointment. If you tell her why, she will try to fit you in as soon as possible. I'm sure that you can appreciate that , if there is anything untoward there, the sooner you treat it, the more effective the treatment would be.
Hopefully it is just an ingrown hair, but best to get it checked out. Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
Kind regards,
