I've had this strange bump (about the size of a penny) on my left armpit for 2 months. It got a little larger in size over the 2 months, but not by much. It is raised and it's the same color as my skin. I'm thinking of ignoring it. My sister-in-law said I shouldn't worry about it and that it happens sometimes and it will go away on its own in a few months. Is she right?

make an appointment with your doctor for an evaluation.

I got a bump there and after a while it started to hurt when I put my arm down. I went to the DR and he said it was my deoderant clogging a pore. he gave me some meds and it went away he also told me to stop using that kind of roll on deoderant. I changed to solid and have not had a problem again. You may want to change to a spray or something and see if it starts going away. If it doesnt hurt I wouldnt worry too much.

Has your sister been through medical school? If not, have the bump evaluated by a doctor. It may be nothing, but you need to know for sure. If it's something serious, you need to know that quickly. If you have reason to suspect Lymphoma, here is the best site for info:

Strange bumps that last more than a week deserve to be investigated!
This is growing, from what you have said, and could be cancer.
If it is, the earlier you get treatment the better your chance of a full recovery.

A clogged pore is really painful, and will go away on its own. What you're describing sounds like an abnormal lymph node. You need to get to your doctor right away. If it is cancer, your survival depends on early treatment.

YOu need to go to the dr immediately.
This could be breast cancer or lymphoma or it could be cancer that may have spread from anothe rarea inthe body.
If you have lump in the arm pit you need to go because those are themost common lymph nodes associated wtih breast cancer.

It could be breast cancer. It could be TB. Go to the doctor and have tests done.
