Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.

The swelling which you are having under the arm pit needs to be investigated. Hence your doctor has advised you a USG scan to know if it is a cyst or any other benign condition (as it is painful). Hence this scan is important to know the content of the sweling. Based on the report your doctors will advice if it has to be resected or not. However, only if necessary to be removed , they remove.
It is mostly not malignant. So don't worry.
Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
