What Is The Small Pea Sized Lump In My Armpit?
Hi, I am 15 years old, weight approx 52kg and found a small pea sized lump in my armpit a few months ago. I didn't think much of it at the time however I am now beginning to worry as it has not gone away. It does not hurt or puss or anything, however It will not pop or go away.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood that you have a small pea-sized lump in the armpit, which is there for months and you can not pop it. It is not painful, no pus nor anything.
The most probable reasons for such a lump are:
Sebaceous cyst
Lymph node.
In a young boy of your age it is most likely to be a cyst.
You may please get this confirmed by actual examination by a General Surgeon and get treated if needed.
I hope this answer helps you.
