I've had this lump in my armpit since last October. It's medium-sized, hard, and painless. It's not red, and it doesn't seem like it's movable. I'm a bit worried about what it could be. Should I be concerned? What might be causing it?

It sounds like you have a medium-sized, hard, and painless lump in your armpit that has been present for quite some time. While it's reassuring that it isn't red or painful, it's important to get it checked by a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions and ensure proper care.

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've had this lump inside my left chest for over two years now. It's pretty weird because I can feel it when I touch it, and it hurts then, but otherwise, there's no pain. The size hasn't changed, and there aren't any other symptoms. I'm not on any medication, but I'm really worried it might be a tumor. Any idea what this could be?
