I found a small pea sized, hard, round lump under the middle of my armpit about 2 weeks ago. Is this something that I should worry about?

HI, Ann! How are you? Is the lump still there? Has it changed, at all?

It may be a lymph node and they can swell for various reasons, such as if your body is fighting off an infection.

However, being female, they can also swell due to problems with the breast, such as mammary infections, breast cancer and other conditions, thus you should really have it checked out by your doctor.
