What Could A Lump In Arm Pit Be?
I have a tiny lump around an inch above the arm pit. It has been there for over a year. One doctor told me that I had a clean bill of health. No tests taken. My sister who is an RN advised me that it looks like a fat sack. It has not changed since I first noticed it, and does not cause any pain at all. My gyn didn't notice it when she did her examination, and I had forgotten about it at that time. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
From the information you have provided this is likely to be a lipoma which is a fatty lump. This is not serious and can be left alone.
If it starts to give you pain or if it enlarges then I suggest you see your doctor.

Dr K A Pottinger
