Panicking

[Pumpkin9]

Ok ladies I've just found a small pea sized lump under my armpit by pure chance. I've never noticed it before and it's not painful, I have no red marks on my boobs either.

It's very close to the top of my boob so could easily be overlap breast tissue on the edge of my armpit however I'm now cacking myself that it's something sinister. I've checked the other boob/armpit and there's nothing similar.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I think it's only just appeared as I've only recently started breast feeding and I massaged around my armpit about a week ago to relieve the pressure and bruising. Didn't feel anything then.

Think I'm going to keep an eye on it this week and if it's still there I'll book an appointment

could be an ingrown hair, or blocked milk duct, maybe try massage under warm shower?

I'm starting to think it's not as bad as my initial panic! Hormones are obviously still making me irrational. It seems to be developing so I think it may just be a blocked pore, ingrown hair or milk duct
