Found a painless lump

Hi all, 2 weeks ago I found a lump it's below my right breast and causes me no pain or bother however I've had some awful aching pain in my right armpit this week as well as some other pains in the right side of my body & some dizziness, im so anxious to go to the doctors... has anyone else had the same thing? Did you see a doctor? Thanks x

  • Hii. I completely understand what you're going through. Last month, I found a painless hard lump in my right breast suddenly. I was really worried cause I had a really bad rash on both breasts already which didn't go away but I figured it was because I hadn't told anyone. However, after my visit to the doctor he wasn't worried at all and told me I have an infection and that the lump is a fibrodonamea. I had it taken out. However after some time I developed a new lump at that same area and that completely freaked me out. I refused to search up what this might probably mean on the internet because I knew it might fuel my anxiety. However, my skin rash had cleared after taken treatment recommended by a dermatologist. For about 3 weeks I stopped worrying about the new lump. However, I found one hard, almost grape sized lump in my armpit three days ago. It moves when I push is but it's still pretty rock hard and painless. I can't see it through my skin though it's that deep. I made a mistake of searching up this on google and I've been terrified ever since. I would be going to the doctor to check it out.

  • Thank you for your reply. How scary! It definitely triggers anxiety doesn't it. This lump I have found you cannot see through skin and almost have to find if that makes sense... I know I should see a doctor but I'm really anxious and thinking it could be so many things.

  • It really does. I've even cried for three nights in a row because I'm scared it could be something serious. Also, I don't know if its getting bigger or if im just being paranoid. I made up my mind to book an appointment with a doctor tomorrow. Hopefully it's nothing too bad. Il keep you updated. I wouldn't worry too much if I were you though because it's most likely nothing threatening. However, to ease your mind I think it would also be a good idea to see a doctor.

  • I went to the doctors and she said that the new 'lump' is actually a scar tissue from my surgery. It had developed and would probably not be going away for a while. She also said that the lump under my armpit was just an enlarged lymph node reacting to a cold or just possibly a mild infection and it is nothing to be worried about at all. I can't tell you how relieved I feel right now.
