Lump in left armpit

2015-11-13 08:23:33
I have a painless peanut sized lump in my left armpit since 2 months. The size of it didn't change since I noticed it then. I'm also taking hairfall treatment since 2 months. Can they be related? What tests are advised and doctor of which specialization should I consult? Is it a cancer symptom? PFA the pic.

Hi For armpit lump , you need to consult a general surgeon.. He may do FNAC to diagnose what kind of lump For hair loss , consult a dermatologist with specialisation in trichology both the things are entirely different, not related in any way
