Generally in the armpit, you can frequently get inflamm. of the
lymphatics & that's why you need to know what's the norm for
your own body. Sometimes the cking too much will make it swell
more. If it's sm. like a pea & hard, Dr might do a watch & see.
If it's grape sz. & lightly firm, it will most likely go away
& dissolve like a cyst. An ultrasound can easily be done to ck.

About 3 years ago i had numerous lumps in the underarm area. I wouldnt worry about it though as usually in a couple of months they shrink by themselves and disappear.

My grandad also died of cancer which started for him in the lymph nodes but there's nothing to say you have that. As usual, check it out if you have any concerns


All the best
