Q: good morning what about a lump in each armpit(right smaller and more define and one in the left arm slighter larger but less define). The one on the left is more painful than the one on the left.
With both underarms showing lumps, it sounds like you might have swollen lymph nodes from an infection somewhere. Breast cancer very, VERY rarely shows up with symptoms on both sides, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. I'd suggest you keep an eye on these lumps; if they're still there in a couple of weeks, you'd want to see a doctor and find out what's causing them. You might need a course of antibiotics. In the meantime, please read our post on armpit lumps; I think it'll help you out. Take care- PJH
