Hi

I've got a GP appt later this afternoon as I would like to get my armpit checked.

A few days ago I had a bit of tenderness in my right armpit, so gave it a little prod and noticed a slight swelling. It's hard to describe exactly, but it's like a soft ridge and near the surface. It's not painful although I've made it sore from constant prodding.

I'm a total hyperchondriac and already thinking the worst btw.

I have a six month old baby and wondered if it could be hormonal.

I have a small cyst on my other armpit which has been there several years and I had that checked out at the time I discovered it.

The new 'thing' couldn't really be described as a lump and I'm a bit worried my GP might struggle to find it at all, but it's def there and causing me to be anxious.

Please give me some words of wisdom!
