I have a small lump in my right under arm & small than pea. i'm worried about it,what it can be? can it be dangerous?

It could be: A lump under the arm could be a lymph node. If it persists more than a month, it should be looked at by a general surgeon and possibly biopsied. Sometimes a cyst in the skin will present this way also. These are benign but can be removed if desired.
