What Causes Movable Lump Under The Armpit?
I think I have a swollen lymph node in-between my arm pit and my breast. I am breastfeeding an 8-month-old right now. I don't feel sick. The strange thing about the small, pea-sized bump is that it moves around under the skin a bit and it pulses with my heart beat. Any ideas of what this could be? Should I be concerned? Thanks.

hello! since you are breastfeeding it could be a milk lump. I suggest you place a warm compress over the area for 15minutes 3x/day to soften the lumo and pump out milk regularly. if it persist, you need to see a physician for a complete breast exam.
