Brief Answer:
Sabaceous cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
There could be a connection between the underarm lump and feverishness. The lump that you have described sounds like a sebaceous cyst which is nothing but infection of the hair follicle. Here is what you should do
1. Try and avoid squeezing it
2. Keep the area dry and moist free. Trimming the hair around it helps, don't shave the area
3. Do not use deodarants until the infection settles
4. I usually prescribe clindamycin tablets twice a day for 5 days
5. If the lump grows or becomes painful please approach your doctor
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
