To: Hi shosho
Enlarged axillary lymph nodes are small hard nodes in the armpit.
Only enlarged lymph nodes in your armpit without and presentation of breast lumps is of very less signifiance.Any infection in that area you can have enlarged lymph nodes.
Your clinician should first see if it is related to breast, and if not do not worry if it is due to some infection.

Please get yourself examined and if required on suspiction you can get yourself biopsed.
If there is no risk then nothing to worry.

Visit a clinician and take care!
