Lump Under Armpit.

Hello all you love and amazing people. I was wondering if I could have some help and guidance of what is should be doing with my symptoms. I'm only 16 but thought it would be a good idea to get a new set of thoughts and feelings. I am not here to mess around I would really appreciate some answers, it's also coming up the anniversary of my auntie death. She had cancer 3 times the third was the final blow, she had a very rare form of cancer and there was not much left for them to do. 
 

A few weeks ago I began having a pain in my armpit and thought I had probably just slept funny or nipped the skin with the razor but. Today I found a reddish lump in the same area, however it's not like a razor cut it's an actual lump. When I touch it and around the lump I feel pain very hard to describe. But because I'm on the pill to calm my periods it did also increase my risk of lukemia and breast cancer. 
 

I'm not saying that's what it's but I just thought to ask as it's been a frequent cause of death in my family. Would appreciate a reply from anyone. Thank you. Xxx

    you should get it checked with the GP and they could just brush you off however make sure to ask for a referral of an ultrasound because the scan can detect abnormalities. And from the results  you get the doctors will take the next step. 
     

    my mum has so many lumps in her breast and they are all checked out. Her ones her benign cysts. 
     

    I strongly feel like you should go and get it checked out.
