Leastways, three questions needed addressing before interpreting your condition:
(1) Did (do) you breastfeed?
(2) Are you exposed to hazards in your workplace and what is the nature of your job?
(3) Your family history of breast cancer or lymphogranulomatosis.
You volunteered identifying your race (AI/IN), which indicates that you already know well, that the prevalence of breast cancer is the lowest in women of your race (reference - CDC report).
There are multiple causes of the oxter lumps and the vast majority have nothing to do with cancer. An unexplained lump has about a 4% chance of being malignant, if you’re over the age of 40; and about a 0.4% chance of malignancy if you’re under 40.
The most prevalent cause is infection: either localized (from shaving, using an antiperspirant rather than a deodorant), or widespread (viral infections, such as shingles, chickenpox, infectious mononucleosis, herpes, HIV). You may also get an oxter lump arm as a reaction to a vaccination. Sometimes, an allergic reaction to penicillin or iodine produces an underarm lump. Armpit lymphatic nodes may also react to an infected or unsuccessful IV injection into the median cubital vein, basilic vein, or cephalic vein).
Other causes may include: cat scratch disease, lipomas (harmless fatty growth), mastopathy (fibrous, cystic), intramuscular myxoma of pectoralis muscle (benign tumor or skeletal muscles of chest) .
In general, if on palpation the lump is firm, fixed, hard, not discrete, not easily distinguishable, this more indicates on the breast malignancy. If the lump is mobile, soft and painful , this signifies an infection. In addition, a lump that seems to increase in size within a few days is probably due to infection, rather than malignancy. Redness/soreness of the skin is also often a sign of a lymph node infection, not cancer.
Per your report from 10/01, your condition lasted 10 days, which does not favor for a local infection. You need to see a specialist.
