What Causes Lump Between Armpit And Shoulder?

I found a soft limp on the upper part od my body between the the armpit and shoulder. Since it was covered in part by my bra strap, I did not notice it until several weeks ago, and I have made an appointment to have it checked. It is about 2" wide and three inches long, irregular in shape, no pain. Possible causes?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.The possible causes are lymph nodal enlargement.
2.Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in cad if any infection / inflammation / underlying systemic causes / malignancies.
3.There are chances of inflammatory changes localised with the inner were due to constant irritation to the skin, if possible use softer ones for a wile, until it gets healed.
4.Visit a doctor and get examined, if necessary doctor may ask for an ultrasound scan. Which will help in identifying the nature of lesion, and extensions.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
