What Causes Itching And Swelling Of Lymph Nodes Near The Armpit?

Hi I am a 43 yr old woman that has obvious swelling at the front of my armpit at the top of the breast. I've had some problems with small swellings that itch really badly near that armpit before and spent months uncomfortable with the coming and going symptoms. They felt like little glands that got swelled up, itched badly, and if pressed seemed to make the itching more intense with a burning sensation. I'm thinking this may be a lymph issue but cant be sure
