Question: I found a lump, painful to the touch, under my arm!. What could it be!?
Its not red or discolored in any way and, other than chronic migraines, there's nothing else wrong with me!. I'm 22 years old with other no known health problems!. I also don't know of anything that runs in my family other than Huntington's!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
