Painless Lump In Armpit. Breastfeeding Baby. Which Doctor Should I Consult?
Hello, I have a painless lump in my armpit. I have developed it last 2008 when i was pregnant with my 1st child. I thought it was just because i am developing more breastmilk than the usual. Until now, i still have the lump. I am breastfeeding my 2nd baby who is 1 year and 10 months old. I just want to get this rid of this lump. Please advise. Also, what kind of doctor should i see? Thanks. Lyn Lyn
can yu post a photo of the lump here on the website, so that I can tell you more confidently?
it is better you see a general surgeon to get evaluated. since there are many kinds swellings that can occur in the armpit, an in-person checkup is more useful.
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily.
Take care and please keep me informed of your progress.
Good Luck !
