So while in the shower shaving my underarms....

Last night, I found a little sore spot and a lump. It's not huge and I can't actually see it. I can just feel it. DH had a feel and he can feel it too. I haven't ever had anything like this before. I am going to the GP tomorrow for an antenatal check so I will show him then.
But what would it be? I am thinking probably just a swollen sweat gland/lymph node or a cyst....would these things be sore? It's not so sore I feel it if I'm not touching it. I'm only aware of it when I touch it. What will the doc do about it? Would it be a matter of wait and see what it does, or have some sort of diagnostic treatment now?
I am ashamed to admit that stupidly, I haven't been doing breast checks for a long time now because I have been pg or bfing for so long and my boobs are quite lumpy anyway, so I could never tell if the lumps were abnormal or anything. The only reason I found this is cause it was a little ouchy.
I am a little worried because we do have breast cancer in our family, with my maternal grandmother and aunt both having been treated for it.

:hug: any lump there would freak me out.
I hope that it turns out to be hormonal for you and god luck tomorrow

I hope it turns out to be nothing serious. Good luck.
:hug:

I had found a lump at the beginning of the year. I was lying down when I felt it. I moved position, and could still feel it. I let DH have a feel around, and he could feel it too. I was a little freaked out, as you would be, but went and saw the doctor. She had a feel of both breasts, and found the spot I was talking about. She asked where I was in my cycle and sent me for an ultrasound. By the time the ultrasound appt rolled around the lump was gone (it was only a few days). It was nothing.

Hopefully, yours is nothing as well. :hug:

I've had a lump under there and it was just a swollen gland, so hopefully that is the same for you. I know the fear though, cos I had a lump in my breast a few years ago, and had to undergo mammograms and biopsies just to see what it was.. and god it was scary :hug:

Most likely a swollen gland or blocked mamory duct (yes, it is possible to get them all the way up under you armpit). FX it is something simple like that.

Like the others have said it is probably nothing but get it checked out to be sure:hug:

I hope its just hormonal huni. Take care. Huge hugs huni xox

oh no Kell, :hug: hope it's something that's nothing.

Thinking of you :hug: and hoping its nothing serious :hug:

I had a little sore lump, quite close to the surface, it went away when I changed to a deodorant for sensitive skin!
I think maybe the fact that its painful is a good thing- I think that means its less likely to be something problematic
But your GP will be able to tell you right away :) Don't stress :) :hug:

I would say its a pregnancy thing. The dr did a breast check and found a lump when i was preg with ds2 and was sent for an ultrasound on the lump. It was nothing, just breasts changing in pregnancy. The sonographer told me that pain is a good thing as cancerous lumps almost never hurt.

Thinking of you :hug:

Hoping all is ok :hug:

Thinking of you. x

Aww, thanks girls!! The doc said it's probably just hormonal. He had a feel and the lump is smaller, almost not there anymore. Still a little bit sore, but not like the other day. He said to keep an eye on it and come back if it changes. I'm not really worried about it tbh! I think it was just the initial shock of finding it. I am going to be doing my breast checks properly now that's for sure!!

I had a very similar thing which turned out to be hormonal. I was due for my period and it happens every couple of months now. It come sup and then goes away a few days before my period actualy arrives

Glad it was nothing for you
