Swelling in armpit- is it lymph nodes or something else

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have an unusual swelling in my armpit. The unusual part is that when I raise my arm it puffs out and goes down though after lowering my arm.  It is soft and I can feel fluid as if it is being squeezed out to the rest of my arm along the cord like swelling. Just wondering if this can be a lymphatic issue or something else.

    This exactly how my armpit lump is acting right now. It shows when I raise arm and hides when I lower it.
