Dear Susan-

I cannot tell you if the hard lump you are feeling is in the skin, inwhich case it may be an oil gland, or if it is deeper in the armpit. If it is deeper, have it checked if is does not disappear after your period. Lymph nodes can swell before and during menstruation and for other reasons, but they should not REMAIN swollen or hard.
