Swelling in armpit

2018-07-10 10:35:35
I have a small swelling on the outer side of my armpit since almost 1 year. I got checked for breast cancer and skin infection. Doctor said it is not a lump and it seems like a swelling in the tail of breast. Sonography also did not show anything. It is soft, painless and has not grown in size since 1 year. Should I get any other tests?
