If it's a lymph node you will definitely feel a general but persistent only slightly painful gnawing of the node. Kind of like when your balls get played with just a little over the top. Think of lymph nodes as tiny little balls all over your body. In that they are similarly sensitive to manipulation...and the irritation I feel is very similar. They are smaller then a small marble even when swollen. If you find and manipulate the lump, I think you will know immediately that it is a lymph node. If this is a swollen or irritated lymph node, rest assured that any future lymph node pain will be quite apparent, as for me the irritation is consistent and identifiable.
I've had lumps in my pits before, but I'm prone to cysts and chalked them up to one of those. They head, then burst, or get burst by a lancing, drain and then get cleaned with h2o2 and everything's fine.
There used to be a topical ointment called icthymal that I think is no longer sold in the States, but it would draw out the contents of a cyst.
I routing for cyst or in-grown hair.
