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.

Lots of harmless things it could be but you should definitely get it checked. Think of it this way if 100 people go get it checked maybe 98 of them will be told it's something harmless the other 2 will have possibly saved their lives by acting quickly (note that in inventing these numbers don't know the exact stats). It is absolutely worth 98 going for a quick if unnecessary appointment to save 2 lives.

Get it checked. I have a swollen lymph node above my collarbone. Doctor says she pretty sure it's related to the jab but she's done a blood test today and got me booked in for an ultrasound in a couple of weeks just to be sure.
It's better to get it checked.

Please get it checked. GP should refer you to a one-stop clinic. I had similar lump, turned out to be cancer, but caught early. Better safe than sorry!

I have a recurring one. Doctor said it was a blocked gland. If I squeeze it hard enough it sometimes goes away. Get it checked for your own peace of mind, though.

Please don't seek medical opinions on MN.

Go to a doctor or hospital.

I know this may be easier said than done at present, but it can be done.

Did you ever find out what it was? I know it’s an old post but have the same thing and doctor was unsure. Waiting for some blood work now and a little anxious.

I had one and having looked online I decided to watch and wait for a week before getting checked out, it went away by itself. Do get it checked out if you can get in with gp though.
