Should A Doctor Be Consulted For A Lump Under The Arm?
Hi I have a mole on my boob that is a little uneven on one side and isn’t a perfect circle I also now have a lump under my arm put it’s not to but but big enough to make me worried should I go see a doctor?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Mole on a boob with a lymph node in the armpit can be a dangerous combination and hence you should consult your Doctor for clinical evaluation, examination and ask for ultrasound and FNAC of the mole as well as of axillary lymph node. Mole can transform into cancer and hence this is most needed. Also ask for a reference to the General Surgeon so that excision of the mole can be done and the sample sent for histopathology. This should be done as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
