I've had this flat black mole under my right armpit for a long time, and it hasn't really bothered me. But a few days ago, I noticed some soreness in that area and felt like my lymph nodes were swollen, which only lasted for two days. It happened right when I got my period, so I'm not sure if theyre related. Now, I've started to feel pain in the mole, especially when I touch it or stretch my arm. I haven't shaved my underarms in a while, so that could have caused some of the discomfort too. Should I be concerned about this?
