it sounds like a cyst..
usually they're fine as long as you leave it alone, but you should get the doctor to look at it just in case.
my mom had one on her back and the doctor just removed it right in the doctor's office, sooo even if you have to have it removed, its not a big deal!

Vikki27 answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 12:11 pm: I had a similar thing once. It could be a swollen gland, or, as someone suggested further down, a swollen lymph node. When I had this problem, it disappeared after a couple of days but was very sore at the time.
Whenever you develop any sort of lump around your breasts or armpits, you should always ensure you see a doctor, just to be on the safe side. So make sure you get an appointment and even if it is just an infection, they may be able to give you something to treat it. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

Nallie answered Tuesday May 30 2006, 10:04 pm: It could be a lymph node, especially if it is tender. Lymph nodes get inflammed when there is an infection somewhere in your body, or in other disorders. The best thing is to get checked by a Dr. so you don't have to guess at what is wrong anymore.
