Hello doctor. In my left armpit, I have a small nodule like the tip of a chopstick for 10 days. But it doesn't hurt, it doesn't get bigger, it doesn't itch, it doesn't have any symptoms, it's like an extra piece of meat. So I want to ask the doctor what's wrong? I thank you!

Hello.
The lymph node is a Lymphoid (interretinal endothelial) organization, scattered in many different locations in the body, from visceral, abdominal to subcutaneous soft tissues. The lymph nodes play a significant role in disease prevention, especially infectious diseases.
The case of lymph nodes in the armpit can be a natural response of the body due to inflammation (benign lymph nodes have the effect of producing resistance to fight the causes of disease), they can disappear naturally without needing to be treated. treat or affect. But sometimes it can be a warning for dangerous diseases, not caused by inflammation but by diseases related to leukemia, breast cancer ....
So you should go to a reputable medical facility, specialists to do a number of tests, examinations and consultations.
Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
