To ask about my armpit lump?

Hi all,

Today I discovered a painless, pea sized lump just underneath the skin in the middle of my armpit. It's movable but pretty hard - almost feels a bit rubbery. The surface of the skin is raised due to the lump being just underneath. I had my covid vaccine (Pfizer) on Saturday, but the jab was the opposite side. Should I get it checked out or wait a few days? I'm 31 years old. Thank you so much for your advice.

I am getting a breast ultrasound in two weeks as I found a lump on breast after my covid jab. ( Astra z). Agree to get it checked. Good luck x

Always, always get it checked OP always. It's a minor in onvenience that could have huge ramifications.

Thank you everyone. Will ring the GP tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers that it's nothing serious. I've checked my breasts and can't feel anything there.

I had one of these, went away after 7-10 days - it was sore for the first couple of days, then just lumpy, then it just slowly decreased in size over around a week till nothing left.

It’s probably nothing to worry about but that’s something to get checked out. I’d give your gp a call.

Get it checked but most likely nothing.

I have a lump underneath mine which I have had for many many years it's a gland I am told. Sweat I suppose. That's a hard lump pea size too but does get bigger and is noticeable when my arms stretched up X

Always get any lumps checked if they are bothering you xx

Get it checked. Always get it checked. No one will be cross if it's nothing.
