It could be anyone of a number of things. Please get evaluated by a doctor.

There is no way anyone on here could even guess what the contents of that lump are….

I agree with the others see a doctor as soon as possible an get it looked at. Only a doctor would be able to diagnose cancer. The sooner the better for treatment sakes. I hope you do not have it though and will keep you in my prayers. Good Luck!

If it makes you feel better I also noticed a lump under my arm when I was about 18 or 19, and I was very worried. It didn’t turn out to be cancer, just a few enlarged lymph nodes, which I had removed and biopsied just to make sure.

Definitely see the doctor ASAP.

Hi there. I answered similar questions here and here. That said, I agree with everyone else. There is no substitute for seeing your doctor.

The fluther doctors are out. You need to see a Doctor that is not virtual. don’t wait. this could be dangerous.

probably lymph nodes or something. when you have an infection somewhere, you get lumps on the neck, armpits, groin, etc.

but then again, it is best to see a doctor

Most likely not cancer, but it depends on your family history. Always go see a doctor when you notice something strange and unusual about yourself.
