What Causes Tender Lump In Right Hand Side Armpit?
I am an 18 year old male. 6ft tall and mixed race. I have recently, within the past week found a small but tender lump in my right hand side arm pit. I wondered if you could relate whether this was due to somekind of hormonal catalyst. Or something more concerning? Should I be contacting my GP?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Of course , contact the GP.
Simple test::: you can do yourself.
IF the lump is moving freely along with the skin, this is boil or a small sebaceous cyst.
IF it is deep seated and not attached to the skin- this is more likely to be a lymph node.
Either of the lumps may need a treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. So visit a GP.
