Odd lumb underarmpit?!


Question:

Odd lumb underarmpit?

Hello, So recently I have discovered a lumb under my right armpit, I figured it might of just been some kind of a pimple or sore from shaving under my arms, but its been a few days now and the lumb seems to be getting bigger, it doesnt hurt unless I touch down on it, and it is Under the skin not ontop, does anyone have a clue as to what this might be?, I am 19 years old, from Australia and is currently visiting the USA.


Answers:

It doesn't sound painful enough to be a cyst/boil.

Most likely its just an inflamed lymph node from your body fighting off a small illness, there is a possibility albeit small that it could be cancer I would go get checked out.

Also since it is slightly tender to touch its a good sign that it is NOT cancer, but still go get checked.
