Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumour, enlarged lymphnode or axillary tail tissue of breast. You should not worry about cancer. Chances of cancer is minimal at this age. So just be relaxed. If it enlarges then you should go for biopsy or FNAC of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
