Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
The pain in the armpit, feeling like tiny ball is mostly due to the developing boil/ pimple/ ingrown hair.
Watch for further development.
Keep the armpit clean with water.
You may please apply liquid povidone iodine locally to keep the area sterile and medications if required.
I hope this answers your query.

Please post the clear and focused photo of the armpit is there is any changes as it helps further for on-the-spot diagnosis in some cases.
