Lumps under right armpit.

About 3.5 weeks ago I found a lump under my arm. It is oval in shape, hard and about the size of a grape (or slightly smaller). A week ago I went to my GP, she examined the lump and my breast and told me it was a swollen gland. She said if it hadn't gone down in a month I should go back. However last night in the shower I found a second lump under the same arm, this one is a little bit smaller than the first. I have had a good feel under my left arm and there are no lumps under that one, and I haven't noticed any other lumps anywhere else. So my question is has this happened to anyone else and it turned out to be nothing? Do you think I should go back to the gp sooner now I have found a second one?

  • Hi Jem. Just wondering if your lumps were checked out? I have a few lumps u get only one armpit and I'm very worried. Been referred to a breast clinic. Thanks.

  • Hi, I went back to my GP and found out it was a immune response to flu I had just recovered from. Since then I have noticed that sometimes when I become unwell I will notice a lump under my arm once I have started to feel better again. I don't know why this happens, it's always the same arm. But the lumps do eventually settle down.

    I hope you find out the reason for yours and it turns out to be benign. I have a benign lump in one of my breasts that I have to keep an eye on to make sure it doesn't change. I have been seen by my local breast clinic, who were really good, they put my mind at ease as I am sure they will do for you. But I agree it is really worrying, so I hope you find out sooner rather than later.

  • Hi @Jem09, thank you very much for replying to me and letting me know (and thank you again @Emsy90 ) Glad to hear yours were due to a benign cause - it's reassuring for me too. Have everything crossed and the moment, but struggling to think about anything else. Hopefully I won't have to wait too much longer to find out. Thanks again.
