Is A Lump In The Armpit A Matter Of Concern?
I've had a lump in the outer part of my armpit now for over a month, when I first noticed it it was the size of a pea, it has now probably tripled in size. It's not painful and I haven't noticed any symptoms that accompany it. Should I be worried at all? Is it something I should even bother getting checked out? Or is it just an enlarged lymph node? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Sonsi

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should get it checked. Lymph node enlargement can come from many things, most often infection. However, the nontender enlargement should encourage full physical examination including the breast.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen
