I recently discovered a soy bean size cyst like pointy bump on my armpit :!: it hurts to touch, and has a white-ish tip on it. It feels much like a huge pimple. after some research, i though it would be a good idea to go to the doctor because it hurts when i touch it. What should I do? Should I worry? HELP! :cry:

Hi emmasrosen
Finding a bump in your armpit certainly is distressing. It would certainly be worthwhile getting your doctor to check it out, although its probably nothing sinister. There are a lot of lymph nodes in that area, and a white-ish tip on the surface may indicate that its just a pimply type thing or your body is trying to throw off some waste in a rather odd way. Could even be an ingrown hair - who knows?
Best set your mind at rest and visit your doctor: He or she can diagnose it for you.
Hope this helps - let us know how you go.
