I've had that before, it went down after a few days, I squeezed it a bit and some stuff came out.. yuck. Mine was probs an infection from a shaving cut, but if it doesn't go down soon go to your doctors, I often get tiny lumps from shaving, your supposed to exfoliate your armpits but I can never be bothered..
Good suggestions here - you can also sometimes feel the glands in your armpits, so it could just be that. Might be an idea to get it checked out, though remember, if you're a teenager, you're at low risk of anything more serious.
Hey! i had that once...yeh the blocked pores thing..squeezed it and a load of **** came out (was disgusting) but yeah..dont worry too much but if it gets bigger..or hurts more..mite be a bigger cist? then get it checked out
think its to do with a gland reacting to the skin being irritated or somthing? coz it feels tender when i get them occasionally due to shaving, like when your glands are up around your neck. it goes after a day or two

i recently found a small lump in my armpit which worries me a bit. do you think its just due to shaving or could be something more serious??? any advice appreciated thanks.
i found a lump in my armpit about 2 weeks after my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer -so scared the life out of me!
I went to the doctor as it was very large and didn't feel like a gland. He looked at it and said it was a cyst and it would go down. Which it did.
If it hasn't gone away in a week or two i would go to the doctor. Or if you are still concerned, please go.
