Armpit lump

2017-12-25 12:46:37
I am a 20 year old female and I have a lump under my armpit that is hard and doesn’t move. It feels like it is attached to the muscle not my skin and it is sore to the touch and sore to have my arm resting by my side. My breasts have also changed in size, they were identical and now one is a whole cup size smaller. I have a family history of breast cancer so I was wondering if that is possibly it as the family member that had Breast cancer said they had the lump in the same spot.

As you have family history of breast cancer, you are at higher risk of the same. The symptoms you mentioned are worrisome. Consult surgical oncologist without delay.
