Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Better to consult gynecologist or general surgeon once and get examined.
You need one sonomammogram find out the actual nature of the lesion.
If your doctor recommends you may have to go for fine needle aspiration biopsy of the lump.
By these the exact nature of the lesion can be identified.
And depending on that treatment can be planned.
The pain in the armpit you are having could be due to lymphnodal involvement.
Take care.
