Breast cancer symptom
Hi, I'm 24 years old female. I feel a hard lump on one of my underarm. It is hard like a bone. I feel uncomfortable if I bring my arm closer to my chest. I fear of this can be a symptom of breast cancer.

Would suggest a clinical examination by a nearby surgeon or surgical oncologist, and if required, an ultrasound scan for further evaluation.
A hard lump in the underarm can sometimes be a concerning sign, but worrying before proper medical assessment serves no purpose.
Hope it turns out to be nothing serious.
Next Steps
Visit an surgical oncologist for clinical examination
