A member asked:
Enlarged lymph node under arm for over a year. doctor did ultrasound and didnt seem concerned. what could this be?

Biopsy: Unless this is a tiny lymph node that hasn't changed at all in a year, I would get an opinion from a general surgeon as to whether a biopsy is advisable or whether it's a cyst or ingrown hair. I think this will give you peace of mind.
