![default](/r/images/default.png)
Question: Hello, I recently noticed a small moveable lump in my right armpit area. It has been there less than one week. It seems to come and go depending on if I take Advil or not. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
You should not ignore it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This movable lump is most likely a lymph node. You should not ignore such symptom. It can appear due to some infection in the arm or breast. It can be also a symptom of breast cancer.
Please visit your doctor, have physical examination of lymph nodes, breasts examination, breast and armpits ultrasound.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
