So for the past 3 weeks I've had lump in my armpit forming. It seems to have peaked out at this point. Its rather large, and is rather hard. Its not so much just swelling, but like there is something underneath the skin there. The "head" of it (the part closest to the surface) is small-ish, but as you start going deeper (by pressing your fingers into the armpit to the side of the lump) it feels like it might be an inch or so deep. My understanding is that there are lymph nodes there, and it might be a swollen one, but something about it makes me think its something else. Maybe its how sorta...solid it feels. Anyways, it usually doesn't hurt unless pressure is put on it. My range of motion is a little restricted, but it might be improving, its hard to say right now. The swelling around the lump has gone down, which is why I can actually feel an "object" in there. Anyone have any ideas as to what this is? thanks a bunch!
oh, I am a 19 year old male, if that helps any :)
