Can you feel your lymph nodes in your armpit and move i'm a skinny person so is this what it is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can feel lymph glands in the armpits, especially while your arms are hanging down loosely against the side of your chest wall. When you stretch your arms high up, the lymph glands will retract deeper into the armpits.
