Hi,
Infection. Bacterial skin infections are known to cause discomfort under your arm.
As a result, you may experience irritation, pain, or swelling due to a bacterial infection.
Other skin infections may occur as a result of a fungus or a chronic medical condition known as hidradenitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Monish De, Oncologist
