Can A Lump In The Armpit Be A Precursor For Melanoma?
I had a lump in my armpit which lasted for a few months. I didnt do anything about it and it disappeared. Then a few months later I was diagnosed with melanoma on the same arm which had the lump under it. The lump has never come back but do you think its connected to the melanoma?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your lump in armpit is not related to melanoma. It may be due to some reactive hyperplasia of lymphnode. It is not precancerous for melanoma. Consult your doctor and take treatment of melanoma.
