I recently found a hard pea size bump under my armoit. It hurts if I press on it, like a inner bruise, but it is the color of my skin. Not red or bruised. I just had a breast exam a month ago and it was clear? Can this be another type of cancer?

Hello and welcome to e health forum.

From the description provided, it seems that you are having a inflammed lymph node, as a result of localized skin infection.

You might consult a doctor for proper examination and prescription of antibiotics.

In the mean time, using Ibuprofen for pain relief might help.
