I don't have a lump in my armpit, however I have recently found one behind my ear and I'm wondering if anybody knows anything about this? It is hard and about the size of a pea, but it doesn't hurt. I don't know what it looks like because I can not see it, but I want to know if I should be concerned.
I'm also going through puberty and all and I've got a lump underneath my right arm. I'm really afraid that this could be cancer. It's the same as how the others describe it, only this one's also slightly sore when I touch it. I only discovered it not long ago, perhaps a week, I'm not sure. I'm thinking along the same lines as SweaterSong and think that it might be something to do with puberty, but I'm still kinda scared about it. Any advice?
i'm currently still going through puberty, etc. i'm confused about this lump under my left arm, read this, and became slightly confused/scared. it practically described the one under mine, except i have experienced some slight soreness, but it hasn't grown at all. the lump has also only been here for a week or so. i'm not sure if this has to do with my glands and going through puberty or what. should i get this checked out? please reply ASAP.
Dear mkrsh: If you have a lump in your arm pit that is the size of a walnut and growing, you need to have it checked by a doctor. It could be many things, both benign or malignant but it needs to be checked out. A biopsy could be recommended.
