Go to the doctor and get it checked out. It could be nothing, or it could be an enlarged lymph node which could mean a number of things. This is not the place to diagnose anything--get yourself to your doctor ASAP!

I had a bump under my armpit and my family friend who is a physican assistant told me to STOP using deodorant that had aluminum in it. So now I use the all natural kind. Whole Foods carries all types of brands.
But still go see a doctor ASAP and stop using that deodorant ASAP!

It could be a lymphnode. The armpit is one of the largest reservoirs or lymphnodes in the human body. Lymphnodes expand in response to a pathogen of some sort (ie and infection)

possibly an ingrown hair, but also possibly cancer, suggest you have your doctor check it out.
