What Does A Small Lump In Armpit Indicates?
22 year old female, 5'9", 117 lbs. Found a pea sized lump under my left axilla this morning. It is tender to the touch, slighly red, and it hurts to raise my arm. How long should I let this persist before I see a doctor? What could it be indicative of? I have not changed deodorants for about a year now, no injury or trauma to the area, no allergies (seasonal or other), no recent illness.

Hi,
From history it seems that there can be enlarged tender axillary lymph node or having ingrown hair follicle infection.
Go for one antibiotic medicine like Amoxicilin for 3-5 days.
Take Ibuprofen for pain as needed.
Ok and take care.
