Should A Sensitive Lumpy Mole In Armpit Be Of Concern?

I have a mole in my arm pit that the color and shape has not changed but is very sensitive and feels like a small lump behind it. Just noticed it this morning and don t want it to be cancer I m only 35! Could it have possibly filled up with deodorant or something like that? Sounds dumb but it is making me very nervous. Thanks for any help or advice.

I would like to know the colour of the growth. By your description it looks like
you have a big skin tag.It is a very common entity.Its a benign growth of your skin and is of same color as your skin. So you need not worry as it is not cancerous and can be removed easily as a daytime procedure in any dermats clinic. Having said that most skin problems are based on observation for which a consultation becomes very important to actually see and confirm the diagnosis.
