A member asked:

Small, less then pea sized bump, middle of left armpit, hasn't changed size for about 3 weeks now. doesn't bother me, but tender to touch. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like: Sebaceous cyst, if it is the skin only. If it is deeper, it could be a lymph node. A doctor could tell you if you show it to one.
