Q: Small Painless Lump In My Armpit (been There a Year Or More)

Hey all.. im 15 male.. and Ive had a small pea size lump in my armpit for as long as I can really remember... I figured it wasnt anything big and never told anyone.. but now at 15 and knowing ive atleast had it over a year or 2 im becoming more worried. I was researching what it could be and I figured this would be the best place to post it. Its a pretty firm bump that has no sensitivity or anything.. and its also on the armpit that leads to my hand with 4 wart like things now... it started with one wart and now its four.. and likely for more to grow... im not sure if they are linked or anything. I may be in the complete wrong forum.. but I thought this would be the closest to what I may or may not have... any advice would be nice... (i havnt told my parents about the armpit lump yet, i havnt thought it could be anything serious untill now.)

and i realize this is generally a female forum.. but ive read that men can get these types of things too... i just want to know what the heck is in my armpit... and i dont think its a ingrown hair.. because you would think that kinda thing would be gone by now

sorry for all the replies to myself, but i forgot to add that ive noticed that just below my nipples there is a lump type of thing about the size of the nipple itself.. i always figured this was in everyone.. but i read a post below that another male had something similar to this... it is larger in my left nipple too (the side the other stuff is on)... not sure if this is perfectly normal.. but its been like that for a while too..

*any help would be nice, have to go do homework soon Shocked
