How are you?

Last week I found a lump in my right armpit. It's round like a sphere, it feels like those small silver balls you used to secondary's cakes with. Remember those? They tasted vile haha. Anyway, it's just below the skin in my armpit, it isn't fixed inside the armpit wall or anything. I can get it between 2 fingers and wiggle it about and when I stretch the skin out it stretches with it.  I've been worried sick it's cancer because it doesn't hurt and is so firm.

Its been a week and it's not gone but it's not grown. I was hoping it would have started to shrink but it hasn't so much mines been racing. I'm crying ruling this. It's only small but it worries me. I even fiddled with it in front of a mirror and weirdly as i wiggle it side to side between my fingers you can see it's a white small ball just below the skin. It's the size of one of those small silver balls or a bit smaller than a petit pois pea. 

I hope you're ok.

This is exactly what I have under my right armpit I’m 27 y/o..  I can put my fingers around it it doesn’t feel like it’s attached to anything does it ? , and it’s just like under the skin surface. no pain atall like one of those silver ball things that is correct but smaller then a pea. It doesn’t move either I’ve had mine now around 18 months even longer, I got checked out by  a dermatologist my dr referd me around 5 months ago. I forgot the name he called it but it isn’t dangerous. I am going to go back though just to put my mind at ease! I have the exact same lump under the skin in my groin to! Let me know what your G.P says please x 

Well after 6 long weeks and it not shrinking at all I noticed last Wednesday it felt maybe 20% smaller then within 3 days 85% smaller. It just suddenly shrunk. It's now tiny, about 10% left. I cried tears of relief.

I'm glad I just monitored it and didn't push myself to a hospital check but keep an eye on it, see what your GP thinks. I'm pretty sure mine was right that it was a cyst or something, painless and wriggly ball lump. Whatever it was it took a long time to change and reduce. 
 

I really hope the same happens for you xx

did urs move underskin? my doesn’t but when I stretch my skin out it comes out with it. And I can fit my full fingers around it. Very strange I know and it’s hard. Yours in the only lump I’ve came across like mine, can I ask what medication you got put on , and what did your dr say it was? My dermatologist put me on medication I had  a allergy to it and didn’t go back more fool me!  Like I said I’ve had mine for 18 months X 

Mine was fixed but if I got it between 2 fingers I could wiggle it left and right between the fingers. The smaller it got then it became very moveable.

If you've had it so long maybe it's just a cyst or Lipoma. That's what I was told it could be. Sure your doctor will give you some reassurance. I hope it goes well xxx
