I would advise that you go to your doctor as soon as possible. This can be a very serious situation.

It may be nothing more than a clogged sweat gland, but lymph nodes are under you arm and are not detected by a mamogram. There is a possibility that you could have an infection in the lymph nodes that require antibiotic treatment.

It could also be a number of causes which range from the very mild (clogged sweat gland) to the very serious (breast cancer).

Please go to the doctor as soon as possible. I myself am a breast cancer survivor and have looked into the subject in depth. Please have this checked out immediately.

Stormy69 agrees: agrees 100% go see a dr. and perhaps a biopsy
shunned agrees: sounds like the best course of action
