Q. My right axilla has a lump. My doctor says it’s a larger gland and harmless. Should I just forget about it?

No, you shouldn't just forget about it. Even though your doctor has told you that it is a larger gland and harmless, that doesn't mean there won't be any issues with the lump in the future. While benign (non-cancerous) lumps can occur anywhere on the body, axillary (underarm) lumps are one of the most common sites for breast cancer lumps to develop in women. This means that it's important to keep an eye on any changes occurring in this area, even if your doctor says not to worry about it.
It's also worth noting that other causes of axillary masses may include cysts, abscesses and non-cancerous tumors such as lipomas or neuromas - these types of growth tend not to require medical treatment but if they become painful then medical attention should be sought. To ensure peace of mind and accurate diagnosis for your particular situation, we would suggest that you seek a second opinion from another qualified physician or surgeon who specializes in skin lesions/tumors to make sure everything is OK before completely ignoring or forgetting about this lump
Ultimately, what matters when dealing with something like this is prevention rather than cure - regularly inspecting yourself for signs or symptoms of skin cancer can help identify problems at an early stage; so don’t underestimate regular self-checkups! If you notice anything unusual such as new marks on the skin surface (moles), itching around moles/bumps etc., visit your GP right away! Ultimately no matter how small a change may seem err on side of caution and get checked out – afterall better safe than sorry!
