Should A Sensitive Lumpy Mole In Armpit Be Of Concern?

I have a mole in my arm pit that the color and shape has not changed but is very sensitive and feels like a small lump behind it. Just noticed it this morning and don t want it to be cancer I m only 35! Could it have possibly filled up with deodorant or something like that? Sounds dumb but it is making me very nervous. Thanks for any help or advice.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
I would like to know the colour of the growth. By your description it looks like
you have a big skin tag.It is a very common entity.Its a benign growth of your skin and is of same color as your skin. So you need not worry as it is not cancerous and can be removed easily as a daytime procedure in any dermats clinic. Having said that most skin problems are based on observation for which a consultation becomes very important to actually see and confirm the diagnosis.
