Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I m an 18 yr old female and have had a marble-sized lump near my armpit right under my bicep on my left inner arm. I also have a vein that is a little swollen right on top of the lump. I ocassionally feel some discomfort, but I ve had it for about a year now. My doctor said it was fine. Should I be worried and get it removed?
As you explain the situation I suggest you to talk with your doctor to order an ultrasound of that area. It is just to be secure and safe and after the result you can discuss to take it out with a surgeon.
Regards
Dr.Jolanda
