Lump in Armpit

2017-10-24 02:12:14
I am a 20 year old female and I have a lump in my left armpit for about a week and a half now. At first discovery it was very painful and seemed small, but then it grew a little and was still painful. Now it is painless but the lump is still here and I'm worried that it might be something serious. There is no history of breast cancer in my family.
