Right Armpit Painful

My right arm and armpit has been hurting for a week.  Do I need to be concerned?  I can feel a lump in my armpit.


This discussion is related to pain under right arm pit and side of right breast.

Hi,
Usually painful lumps are not indicative of breast cancer,but any lump under the armpit (axilla) is concerning.
It could be something as simple as a cyst or inflamed hair follicle, but suspicious lymph nodes also present in this area.
Because of this possibility and because it's really hard to tell what this lumps could really be,you should see your physician for evaluation.
Take care..
