Painless lump in the armpit
I've felt a small( size of a pea) lump in my armpit 2 days back.
It caused mild pain and discomfort for the first day but it's totally painless right now.
No other major symptom.
I read that it was a symptom of cancer. I'm super worried.

Generally they tend to be infected sebaceous cyst or folliculitis.
Unlikely to due to cancer.
But above thing can be confirmed upon clinical examination. Hence we advise you to meet any surgeon .
