I have a lump under the skin of my right armpit. i first felt it 6 months ago but it didn't pain then but now it does when pressed. is it dangerous?

Possibly: Lumps in the armpit that do not go away need further medical evaluation. It may be a cyst or other benign cause, but the lymph nodes also are in this area and it could be a sign of a lymph node cancer. Get it checked out to be sure.
