I had my son via vaginal delivery almost 3 weeks ago, and 2 days ago I noticed a small lump that appeared in my right armpit. It was tender that day, but yesterday it only hurt when I wore a shirt that rubbed against it. Today there s another knot that formed near the first, but it s not painful either. They re located higher up on my armpit, no where close to my breast. What could it be? Should I go see a doctor?
