Hi, I'm a 33 year old male. Ive had this bump in my armpit for about 3 years now. It only presents itself when i lift my arm over head. Its not painful, but can be sore at times. And i feel it more on days I do back/shoulder workouts. I went to a local dermatologist and they told me that its not on the skin level so they couldn't do anything for me but told me to get an ultrasound. The ultrasound cam back saying they found nothing, though I'm suspicious they were only looking for enlarged lymph nodes and not the mass itself. I'm curious as to what I should do now, should I get another ultrasound to clearly see what it is. And is it worth it to remove it?
