small painful lump under arm

hi im feeling quite worried just found asmall tender lump under right arm pit. i did shave under that arm a few weeks ago and tenderness did start aboout then, but could not feel any lumps,just asked my husband if he could feel anything as i thought it may be my imaganation but he thougt he could, but tried to reasure me it was prob ok.but as ive not long finished chemo and rads july this year had mx dec 09 and full node clearance on left side im really worried,will see my doctor tomorrow but it has bought all those past memories flooding back. ive only just started back to work a few weeks ago and was really enjoying life again!! i do hope its nothing sinister,only prob is i work at my doctors surgery so really not looking forward to the appoinment. has anyone else had anything similar? thanks for listening xx.

Hi Maisie

I had the same thing a few weeks back and was pretty panicked. In my case it disappeared within a week. I’m guessing it was maybe an infected follicle.
Hope all goes well with the doc.
