A member asked:

Discovered a quart sized lump in my armpit, moves when i touch it not painful. is this bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Shari Schabowski answered

Quarter sized?: Likely lymph node. If reactive to inflammation it should be tender and gone within a week. If it grows or persists longer you should have it checked.
