  3. Armpit lump. Hard, mobile, and painful.

Armpit lump

2017-06-19 04:40:57
I m 15 years old and 2-3 months ago I discover a small painful lump under my armpit. I noticed that it grew before my period and shrunk after. I went to get it checked out. My doctor believed it was an infected lymph node because my nose was swollen and congested. I was put on antibiotics however it hasn't gone away. It's hard, mobile, and painful.

If it is a lymphnode then you should get it removed and biopsied.
