A member asked:

My spouse has a painless, small lump in his armpit. he had one before in the other pit but it went away. any ideas what it could be? he has an appt.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lump: Armpit lumps are often caused by ingrown hairs, wens or benign inclusion cysts. However, It's well to have a persistent lump checked by a physician to make sure it's not a pathological enlarged lymph node.
