Hello

I accidentally discovered a lump in my armpit around 5 days ago. I say accidentally because it doesn’t hurt or anything.  It’s about a centimetre in diameter and completely painless. It’s not red or sore to look at and it doesn’t move around under my skin but moves with the skin if that makes sense. 

I made an appointment with my GP on Tuesday. She asked me to change in the other room so she could check my breasts aswell. When she came in, she looked at the lump and asked me what I thought. I told her I initially wondered if it was a cyst or boil but the lack of pain or head or redness had made me call the surgery. 

She he looked at it and said she didn’t know what it was but said it was probably a cyst that would go away on it’s own. Then she said she wouldn’t bother doing a breast exam and to come back if it got any bigger. I felt abit stupid at that point. 

Im really unhappy as she didn’t really look at it, it’s still there and is still not painful or red or have any of the hallmarks of a boil? My grandma on my mums side dies of cancer and my paternal aunt is just getting over bowel cancer. I just don’t feel like I was examined and I’m unsure what to do. I’m 38.
