A member asked:

Small round ball in upper side of breast almost underarm dr said may be a swollen lymphnode, watch and come back in 2mnths. no pain. 23/f ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast or not: If the lump is within the breast, i recommend that a breast surgeon examine and advise you. If the lump is in the armpit, it could be a cyst or enlarged lymph node. Either way make sure to recheck it with your physician as you were advised to.
