A member asked:

My grandma has a little bump under her armpit that is turning black, and under it she has a bump the size of a golf ball what in the heck could that be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need biopsy: Bumps in the armpit may represent enlarged lymph glands, cysts and other things. It is necessary to have a physician examine them and possibly get them biopsied for a definitive pathology diagnosis.
