Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Armpit

I have a hard visible, looks like a cyst under my arm. I do not have pain. I had this lump for approximately three months. I have a gyro appt. Oct. 9th. I am now concerned but waited this long. Do you think I should see my family doctor before I see my Gino?

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Fibroadenoma- as its painless lump,mostly in axillary tail of your breast.
Could be a Cyst underarm ? Cystic Fibroadenosis .Both these conditions are benign,non-cancerous,but Verification by FNAC Biopsy to rule out the Cancerous cause of it needs to be ruled out By Second Opinion from Surgeon,prior to FNAC Biopsy.
So I think before Meeting your Gynec,meet your Doctor , which would save your fruitless Visit with your Gynec,as you need a Surgeons consultation and not Gyne consultation.
Treatment-
USG of the Cystic Hard Lump and FNAC Biopsy would give the direction and lead to the treatment of this Lump in Breast.
Excision Biopsy / or Sectoral Lumpectomy with HIsto-path study would confirm the Benignity of your lump and would help you out of this intricate and worrisome Lump.
So better Go to Surgeon, after consulting your GP doctor.

Take care.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
