What is this itchy bump in my armpit?

Question

24 weeks and my armpit has been itching for a few months and occasionally hurts. Just noticed this bump today. Could it be breast cancer? Should I be worried until I see my doctor next?

Answer

Definitely see a doctor. 
If it makes you feel better, I have something like this also (although yours might not be the same thing, so please see a doc!)
I had a lump on my armpit since I was 18. I continually asked my doctor about it. Cat scratch fever? Enlarged lymph node? Cancer? Who knows because I was never sent for testing at that point. A few years later it swelled up and was so painful that I demanded testing. I was signed up for a MAMMOGRAM at age 22. The breast center refused to do this to a 22 year old, so they sent me for an ultrasound instead. I found out it was an extension of breast tissue, like a "tail" leading to my arm pit. It swells and is occasionally tender but most of the time it's fine. I'm now almost 26 and 7 months pregnant and I have had no issues. I could get it removed someday as an elective surgery because it's a "cosmetic" issue.
Hope that helps! It's probably not cancer. Please get checked out anyway for peace of mind!

Answer

See a doctor, but try not to worry too much! It could be cancer, but it's also very likely to be a swollen lymph node, cyst or even just a cluster of fat that randomly decided to go right there. It's best to check it out, but try not to stress about it. 😊

Answer

Please see your Dr. I don't want to frighten you but do want to make sure you take this seriously and get it checked out. My friend had this and it was from breast cancer. Please book today ❤️
