Q: Lump under armpit next to breast

Goodday,
I have found a small lump under my left armpit relatively close to my breast. It has been there for maybe a month and has definately increased in size. About the size of a pea. Other symptoms include pain when I touch it, a tenderness in the area even if I do not touch it directly, my left arm seems to be painful a lot - almost a numbing pain which, sometimes, runs donwn to my fingers. When I raise my arm above my head, the area feel 'inflamed'
I had biopsies in both breasts around 15 years ago. Both were clear but I was told to have regular mammograms. I now live in Thailand where these questions are taboo and the doctors will often tell you to go home, cook a good meal and not worry so much about these things.
That's an exageration
but they do not really want to address these issues ( I would have to travel to Bangkok for expert care)
Your response is greatly appreciated.
