Can it be dangerous? Should I see a doctor or go to a pharmacy?

I have a lump under one armpit. In the fold of the armpit. It's as small as a dime. It's not apparent as a pimple but well under the skin. So can't be seen by eye just by touch. Is not tender but hard to the touch.

I have a lump under one armpit. In the hollow or the fold. It is the size of a dime. It's not like a pimple, it's not apparent to the eye, only to the touch. It's not painful or red. Should I be concerned?

Hello!
I think it would be best to talk to a doctor, as any mass is worth looking at. The chances are that it's nothing dangerous, so I wouldn't worry about it right now. The pharmacy won't be much help in my opinion unfortunately, especially if nothing is visible on the skin.

Could it be a swollen lymph node?

It is quite possible! There are several causes for an armpit lump. The most worrying causes are the least frequently encountered, which is why there is no reason to worry at this time!
