What Is The Small And Hard Lump In The Armpit?
I am a 30 year old healthy women with two children. Noticed a tiny, round, hard, movable nodule in my arm pit about a year ago. It is approximately 1.5 cm and has not changed in size since then. Asked my OBGYN Doctor and he just looked at it briefly and said it was nothing. Should I pursue further investigations and tests on this by other doctors? If not, what could this possibly be? A bit nervous because I have read numerous forums on Lymphoma.
Thank you

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having enlarged axillary lymph node giving this lump in armpit.
It shows that there might be having some infection in near by area like hands, neck, mouth, axilla.
There is another possibility of having sebaceous cyst as well.
Nothing to worry if there is no infection, no pain or increasing in size.
Keep local hygiene proper.
Ok and take care.
