Yes. Did'nt hurt. Just one of those things you notice and, in my case, don't take much notice of.
That’s what I need to do. My husband keeps telling me off for touching it as he said that won’t help it go away. I need to leave it and just check it weekly. I’m aggravating it I’m sure.

Yeah best not to fiddle about with it. You could put a loose dressing over it to stop you touching it. But if it gets bigger, changes shape or starts to hurt then get some advice about it.
I will, definitely going to stop touching it and just check once a week and if any changes I will have to call my GP for a chat. Thank you.

Truth or consequences, nm
This is hard for me to type as I suffer anxiety and I’m afraid of someone scaring me. I’ve been trying to reassure myself so that I keep calm but if anyone can offer reassurance I’d appreciate it.

On Monday I noticed a small ball shape lump in my armpit. Very small, it reminds me of the tiny silver balls you used to decorate on cupcakes as a child. :(

I've got one very similar to what you described. I've always ignored it. Don't even know how long I have had it. Never dream of telling dr, they already think I am a hypochondriac. Got one under my eye also. It is visible. I think these are actually pretty common.

I have a hard time not picking at it. Right under the skin. Thinking if I squeeze hard enough I can get it to pop out.

Have another benign growth on my back. Had it checked out cause gp referred me to a skin dr. I pick at it also sometimes even though I know better.
