Well, that's possible if the lumps are on the front-side of your armpit. Of course, lumps can always 'potentially' be cancer. It may be that those are inflammed lymph nodes, which can indicate a number of different conditions. However, you definitely need to schedule an appointment with a doctor as soon as you can.

Your body probably has an infection. The lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) fight infections in your body. On certain points of your body (your armpits, your groin, etc), there are things called "lymph nodes." These often become swollen and tender when you've got some sort of infection 'running' through' your body, even if you don't actually feel ill.
I still think you should go see a doctor, though. Better safe than sorry.

If this is the case then you should see a doctor immediately. This could be a sign of cancer. Don't panic. There are lumps that are benign (not cancerous). But you should definitely go see a doctor as soon as possible, or even sooner.
I don't have any medical background, but from people I know and what I've read this is likely the case.

You have lymph nodes and glands throughout your body and there are some in your armpit. Sometimes when you have an infection they swell so you should maybe see a doctor.

If these are not surface lumps like pimples, then I also think they could be swollen lymph nodes. You should definitely see a doctor and have them evaluated.

Any breast cancer information packet will tell you that if you feel any lump under your armpit get it checked.

these are your lymph nodes, found in other parts of your body aswell, they usually swell and become tender to touch when your body is fighting some sort of bug or infection, if these symptoms persist for more than 1 week you should go to the doctor and get them checked out.good luck

Often these are pimples, like boils, that don't come to an head. If they don't pop with warm compresses, see doc to be safe.
