Suggest Treatment For Armpit Lump
He lump didn't really grow much in the 1 year. Maybe became 0.8cm or so.
Should I go back to the doc or let it go? It seems round, and movable.
Please consult a Doctor, get a specific reason.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/30 - in great health - blood tests and X-ray last year was normal - got a lump in the armpit of about 0.5 cm - now grown to about 0.8 cm or so - round and movable - wants to know whether to go back to the Doctor or let it go...
My thoughts after reading the history provided by you:
- Since there is a lump, it must be investigated and further action taken as per the reports it gives.
- Consult a Doctor, preferably a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, request for ultrasonography and FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology.
- The investigations should be pointing to the probable diagnosis and blood tests and X-ray are not much diagnostic in such a case.
The most probable reasons are:
Lymph node
or a Sebaceous cyst.
I hope this answer helps you to get an appropriate diagnosis and proper treatment if/as needed. Please feel free to ask for further relevant query if you feel that there is a gap of communication
Yes, indeed.
Detailed Answer:
Yes, it might have grown in size, other nodes would have been involved, the primary growth would have been noticeable by this time if it would have been cancer in usual circumstances.
