What Could A Painful Lump Appearing Under Armpit Be?
Hi, I have a small internal lump under my armpit that appears and disappears often. I have noticed that it appears a day or two after i shave my armpit, but it then also happens to disappear in a few days. There is a slight pain in it when i touch it or when my hand is stretched. Can this lump be caused due to shaving or is it something else? Also the lump is not visible but can only be felt.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having enlarge3d axillary lympg node.
After shaving due to some ingrown hair follicle infection this lymph node enlarges or becomes palpable.
Nothing to worry.
Avoid infection in axilla or nearby parts.
Ok and take care.
