lump under arm

just last night i was checking my breast and  under my armpits for lumps..like i do once a night every month , but when i was feeling my left armpit ..right above where my hair grows ..there's this huge  lump there kinda feels like a little hill..and its got me worried , it only hurts when i push on it and when i do, i feel a lot of little pea size bumps ..but it doesn't hurt ..unless i push on it ..i'm scared because cancer runs high iin my family ..my grandma , my uncle and my aunt has all han cancerous tumors under their armpits,when i run my hand over it it feels like a small hill..then when i feel on it it's like small little bumps are in it , i'm confused cause i don't see the lump when i look at it in the mirror ...please help me to understand what it is .?

i believe the lumps that you are feeling is the axillary lymph nodes.  Sometimes they can be enlarge if there's an infection going on.  Are you feeling any other symptoms beside the lumps?  I would recommend visiting your GP to have a check up just for the peace of mind.
