Lump under armpit

Hi there,

I recently found a lump under my armpit. It is the size of a small marble. Due to the current situation with coronavirus I have not been examined by a doctor. I was able to talk to her via video call. She has prescribed antibiotics. I am really worried. It is not red or angry looking and is a firm lump to touch. Does anybody have similar stories to share?

  • Hi hope you don't mind me replying. I had the doctor today, I have a hard lump in my right underarm, its unmovable and if am honest and really worried. I have to go back in 2 weeks and try antibiotics for one week. If the lump is still there I will get referred to the breast clinic. My anxiety is through the roof.

  • [@Allonmyleftside]‍ I found a lump under my right armpit in December. I was given antibiotics first and it didn't go. I had an ultrasound in March due to it not going and I felt it was getting bigger, I was told it was a 'benign lump'. I've also been to the breast clinic yesterday at my request as I wanted a second opinion and the radiologist said it was likely a lipoma and confirmed it did not appear to be anything sinister on the scan. The breast clinic was very thorough and I also saw the breast surgeon who checked my breasts. I was really worried like you and had already convinced myself I had cancer. It's easier said than done but please try not to google (I did this and scared myself silly) hope this helps a bit. 

  • @emsy90 thank you very much for your reply. I have AVOIDED the Internet. Its this 2 week wait am not looking forward too.
