General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Arm pain and lump in the armpit are most likely caused by an infection due to shaving in this area. Infection causes pus accumulation and abscess formation. You may also have fever with this issue.
I suggest you to do not wait any longer and visit a surgeon. Abscess needs to be incised and puss drained.
If there will be any doubts, ultrasound of this area can be done. Sometimes enlarged lymph nodes can give such symptoms as well.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
