A member asked:

I have a tiny painless lump in my armpit..not really sure what it is. its a little bit smaller than a pea. its been there for about 2 months any idea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lymph node: Lymph nodes in the armpit are always abnormal. It could be as simple as hygiene but if you have symptoms elsewhere, get it checked.
