Nodule In Axilla, Sensitive, Not Raised. No History Of Breast Cancer. What Do You Think?
I found a nodule in my left axilla this morning while showering, it is sensitive, but not an abscess or raised area. It is probably about a quarter of an inch deep and round, does not roll or move. No history of breast cancer in my family, I have not been sick at all except general tiredness which I attribute to working too many hours. I called a surgeon and they cant see me until the 12 of the month, what do you think?

Hi there, kindly tel exact how old are you.. It matters alot to know your exact age to say whether it is benign or malignant breast lump.. and if you a feeding mother there might be chances of abscess, or its a lymph node enlargement.. there many conditions to rule out regarding your query!! So the only way i can suggest you is to visit a pathologist and get your FNAC done for confirmation..
