I am super worried guys. Yesterday I felt something under my left underarm and while touching it felt like a lump.

- You can't see the lump, you can only feel it
- The outer area is rubbery, if you touch the rubbery area hard enough you can feel a lump inside the skin
- It seems to be long around 1 inch
- It doesn't seem too hard but definitely not soft either
- It is moveable and can be pushed around
- the lump is located on the upper area of my underarm
- you can't tell the shape

sometimes it feels like a lump, sometimes you can't feel it. My mom could not feel it at first, after a lot of touching she could feel the outer rubbery area.

I checked my breasts and collarbones, no swelling or lumps there. I had my blood tested last year. No symptoms of fever.

I read however that a lump underarm is often the first sign of breast cancer. I am 24 with no history of breast cancer in family.

But I am worried anyway because I see people getting cancers randomly without any family history at any age.

I found it just yesterday. I dunno if I should wait and see.

Sounds more like a swollen node, especially if it moves around easily. I have a couple in my neck that feel and behave the same way.
