Lump in armpit
I have a lump in my right armpit and it is painful at times when I strech my arms up excessively. It has been there from a month. The lump reduced in size and generally it is not painful. But only when I press it too much or stretch my arm too much it hurts.

Just consult a surgeon to move further. If you fever along with this might be a lymph node enlargement or if not might be a normal cystic swelling. Nothing to worry about. Clinical examinations and Ultrasound scans can help you with better understanding.
