How To Treat A Painful Lump In The Armpit?

I have a lump on a stretch mark in my armpit. It has happened before and does not look like a pimple (judging from its size and appearance). I m just curious as to what it is. It s tender and painful to the touch. Also, it is about twice the size of an average pimple.

If require go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
