Typically, lymph nodes anywhere in the body will enlarge when they are fighting an infection of the body as the lymph nodes are part of the immune system and help to drain out waste (lymph channels run parallel to many blood vessels). These lymph nodes enlarge when the immune response has been activated. Signs of infection; redness, warmth, fever, tiredness, pain. If it continues, see a professional (preferably wholistic due to the mutation resistance associated with antibiotics).
Side note: Many nutrients can assist with infection in the body. Research this. Dr. Mercola of www.mercola.com suggests Vitamin C, D3, etc to help boost the immune system which the lymph is a big part. Sugar weakens the immune system.
When infection is not present, it might also be that their function is decreased due to diminished movement as movement of the body pumps the lymph fluid throughout the body. (Another reason to deep breath, exercize and stretch, and eat healthy foods). If you massage these lymph nodes directly, you will interfere with their functioning. However, a lymphatic pump massage can be done at lymph junctions in the body to increase lymph drainage.
Since your question deals with under the arm, you might research the toxic ingredients in anti perspirants which destroy nerve endings to eliminate or decrease the ability of the sweat glands to sweat (zirconium aluminum). Are there any lumps in your breast area (male and female)? This is another cause of possible blockage to the lymph nodes.
The underarm is a site of billions of bacteria and when we repeatedly use the same deodorant stick or tube, this bacteria can grow between usage. Disinfect your deodorant and your underarm with soap and water and grain alcohol such as EverClear or Vodka. Do not use isopropol alchohol as this is toxic to humans according to many researchers and professionals. Check out the very interesting research done on the toxic substance of propanols found in 28 out of 28 different Breast cancer tumors.
