What Causes Hard Lump In Upper Arm Jus Down From Underarm?

hi i found a lump in my upper arm just down from my underarm, it's not sore and feels a bit squidgy and a bit hard, it's kinda oval shaped. i have an appointment with my own GP next tuesday but i'm worried, do you think it could be anything serious? I'm a 27 year old female.

The lump you described seems to be like a lymph node... if it is present for short time... then you can observe it... but if long standing or otherwise associated with pain, fever, night sweats, loss of weight or appetite it will need to be addressed by a needle FNAC or a small Biopsy....
