My name is Dwayne. I have a lump below my armpit and above my breast that I have had for 5 years. Now it has gotten bigger and red, with irritation and ocassional itchiness so I want to know if it could be cancerious or what else it possible is. Thank you.
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The history suggest long-standing breast lesion followed by the axillary / armpit lesion / lump.2. The axillary lump according to the description seems like infective collection - hair follicle infection.3. Lymph nodal pathology can not be ruled out as there is lesion in breast next to in with symptoms.4. An ultrasound examination is advised for both breast lump and axillary lesion-that will help to find out the nature of the lesion and its source and extensions.5. An FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will be helpful for definitive diagnosis.6. Folowing that for breast lesion a mammogram might be need depending on the age, followed by treatment. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
