Lump under armpit

Hi, I had a spot under my armpit a while ago, I figured I’d cut myself shaving or something, anyway time has passed but it feels quite solid and hasn’t gone away, I looked again today and felt it and (gross I know) tried to squeeze it like a spot. But not it hurts! And down my arm into my hand hurts too!

I’ve made an appointment with GP but naturally I’m now panicking about what it could be and how long it’s been 

  • Hi Lalabear,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. 

    I am sorry to hear about your symptoms, but you have done the right thing by getting it investigated, I hope that your GP appointment is soon, as this is always a worrying wait. There is no way to know what this is until you've had some tests. Here's hoping that nothing untoward is found.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
