I'm really concerned because I've had this painful lump in my armpit for about a week now. I'm in Bangalore and I'm not sure which doctor I should consult for this. Could it possibly be something serious like cancer?

I've noticed a little pea-sized lump between my chest area and it sometimes comes with chest pain. I did some research online and think it might be the xiphoid process. I'm really concerned and wondering what's the best way to get it checked out. Also, if I need to have it removed, do you know what that kind of surgery might cost?
