Small pea sized mass in armpit

Hi everyone, 

I've read through a few posts here in relation to my concern & you all seem so supportive & helpful. 
Last night I found a pea sized mass in the middle of my right armpit. No broken skin/redness etc

Is slightly tender when touched. Thought last night it's probably just a type of cyst. It appears a little bigger today. You can see it easily enough without touching. 
I obviously don't want to be bothering doctors/nurses at this stage but how long would you leave a mass like this before seeking medical advice? 

thank you in advance ️

  • Hi [@Ezzie3]‍ 

    Doctors still want to know about lumps and bumps.

    I'm waiting on biopsy results for mouth lump and another has appeared, and I cant even remember ifi I mentioned it to surgeon as I only noticed it (again?) a few days ago. GP said to phone them on monday as it was near closing time when i rang, so they are interested. 

  • Thank you for your post. I'll give the gp a call Monday & see what they suggest. 
    I hope you receive your biopsy results soon. I was referred by a dentist a couple of years ago for an examination by a consultant for a small oral mass. He marked the referral as urgent & I was seen very quickly at the local hospital. All ok, just need to monitor it each time I see the dentist but I remember being so anxious just waiting those few days for the appointment.
    I wish you all the very best ️

    Thanks for hoping I receive my results soon.

    IT reassres me that your oral mass was benign.

    Let us know how the GP call goes.
