Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this this swelling in your armpit. This could be cyst as well as soe other thing. However, it is difficult to tell what the exact problem is without a proper examination. There is no emergency and you can actually set up an appointment with your doctor to get this checked out. a primary care doctor would be a great person to start with. If referrals are needed, then you would get the done.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Feel free to ask for clarifications and more information if need be. I wish you well. Thanks for utilizing our services, we very much appreciate it.
