Answers:
If it is sore, it is probably a swollen lymph node, but because it is under your arm, it warrants a breast exam by your doctor!. At your age, most likely it is nothing to worry about, but take caution just in case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's a swollen lymph node!. your lymph nodes are part of your immune system and help your body get rid of infections!. do you have a cut on your arm!? did you nick yourself shaving!? did something bite you!?

cancer has many other symptoms, I wouldn't worry too much about the lump!. you should still see a doctor, he may prescribe an anti-biotic to help get rid of the infection!.
