Hi, A few months ago the wire from my bra was digging in under my arm and a small lump appeared I didn't think much about it and stopped wearing that bra but over the last couple of weeks the lump has gotten bigger and is now very red and sore to the touch, should I go to the doctors to get it checked

welcome to Health care magic.
1. It looks like infection / inflammation due to constant friction, sourness is due to bacterial infection.
2.Since its getting increased, its better if you see your doctor and get a course of antibiotic.
3.Hopefully things will get better there after.
4.Ignorence may cause further complications.
5.Try avoiding any pressure over the area, and maintain hygiene and dryness.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
