Hi, my name is Kevin and I am 21. anyway
Last night I discovered a pea sized bump
under my armpit. Its not visible and dont
ask me how i discovered it, who knows how
long its been there. Anyway it is
painless (that is until I rub my skin raw
after touching it for so long). I know
there could be a number of reasons for
this lump, but how concerned should I be?
I dont really show any other signs of
anything serious, but the last 6 months I
have had lots of back problems and
unexplained headaches which I asked about
in the headache section of this forum.
This whole year I have had health problem
after health problem that I would tell my
mom about (shes a RN) and she never seemed
concerned... that is until today. So this
has got me a little nervous. Im just
wondering if I should be worried about
this, or if I should wait to see if this
lump goes away

The bump you've discovered is probably
swollen lymph node.
Did you have some infections in that
area? Are you experiencing other sings
like lose of weight , night sweating,
itching all over you body, fever and what
kind of problems did you have this year?
