Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. The swelling which you are having under the arm pit needs to be investigated. Hence, your doctor has advised you a USG scan to know if it is a cyst or any other benign condition (as it is painful). Hence, this scan is important to know the content of the swelling. Based on the report your doctors will advise if it has to be resected or not. However, only if necessary to be removed, they remove. It is mostly not malignant. So don't worry.  Chat Doctor.
