Swelling in armpit photo attached!

I've noticed this swelling in armpit. It's not a hard lump, but it's just bigger than the other one. I'm not sure how long its been there and I've made a doctors appointment but in the meantime any idea what it could be, I'm worried!

You have lymph nodes in your armpit so likely to be that. Hope you go on ok at the drs. I imagine you will be sent for a scan at the Breast clinic.

Have you recently had a covid jab? Very common side effect of that.

It's part of your immune system OP.

Have you had a Covid vax or booster recently? I got this a few days after I was jabbed.

I haven't recently had a jab and I'm not sick or have an infection or anything. I thought it might be lymph nodes but no idea why they would be swollen like this.

My friend had this after she had her covid booster (Pfizer). She's fine now.

Have you been ill or had an infection recently? It could just be your lymph nodes swollen due to fighting off an infection.

Try not to worry just get a check up to be sure. Things like this are usually never as serious as we might think

Just to update I went to doctors, said it was just soft tissue, keep an eye if it changes but should be fine 🙂
