Less than a month a go i found something round and stiff in my armpit but now its getting smaller everyday should i still go for a checkup?

It could be a lymph : Node, pimple, scar tissue etc. Shrinkage is a good sign. U can hold off on seeing your dr. However if there are other accompanying symptoms or it recurs or grows, it's prudent that u follow up with your dr. Take care!
