Baby with a lump under the armpit

I have recently had my 5 month old urgently referred for a lump under her armpit.I keep thinking it's the worst but I was told it moves and is smooth so I believe it's a cyst but I'm struggling to get through the days.I have never known a baby to have a lump.

  • Sorry to hear that your baby has a lump under her arm , l hope you are seen soon and that it's a cyst. Babies don't usually have lumps except for infections or cysts. Could you talk to your health visitor or dr at the child health clinic they are pretty good with children's  medical problems. I hope she's seen and you can relax soon.
