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 really worried because my wife has been getting this pain in her breast, more often on the left side. What kind of specialist should we see about this?

I'm sorry to hear about your wife's discomfort. It's best to consult a **breast specialist or a general surgeon** to evaluate the pain. They can assess her symptoms, conduct necessary tests, and guide her further.
