What causes lump under armpit?
Patient: hi i am a 16 year old and i have a lump under my armpit. i have had this for about 5-6 years.is it cancer.it doesnt hurt but around periods it feels tender and after periods it feels smaller. i recently had a viral illnes and when i toon ibuprofen then i could hardly feel it. Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.You may have some soft tissue tumour, enlarged lymphnode or axillary tail tissue of breast. You should not worry about cancer. Chances of cancer is minimal at this age. So just be relaxed. If it enlarges then you should go for biopsy or FNAC of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.
