wierd bump....

I have had this wierd circular lump in my armpit for about six months now.  It never bothered me before but has recently started to be rather painful.  I have also had pain on the side of my breast that is nearest the armpit and my hand has been very shaky.  I don't know if any of these are combined in anyway but what could this be?

i had a lump under my armpit which over time turned into three or four of them and got extremely painful so i went to doc, it was a lymph node infection and cleared up with anti biotics, hope this helps!

I think you should go see your doctor.  I too had an armpit lump, but for me it was only a month or so and it was an in-grown hair.  I treated it a couple of times a day with camphophenique, which soothed the pain and eventually reduced the swelling.  But, for you with that sore breast and shaky hand I would definitely get into the Doctor.  The sooner the better.

My little sister had that exact same thing. It was a cyst. It wasnt cancerous, and she still has it, (she chose not to have it operated on). You should get it checked out though, for sure.
