If its a sore sweat gland/lymph node, use a clean razor when shaving your armpits. If you recently changed your antiperspirant - sometimes this can be the culprit....you might even need to stop wearing antiperspirant for a few days . Some people do get recurrent infected pores in this region. After shaving you can put some hydrogen peroxide on your armpit, then use antiperspirant.

No, it doesn't look like a boil or large pimple. You cant see the bump. You have only feel it. There starting to go away again. It feels round and it hurts when you touch it. Sometimes it hurts on it's own. The last time I shaved my armpits was a couple of months ago. And I've changed my deodorant maybe 4 times, wondering if maybe it was the type of deodorant that I use that causes the bump on my armpits. I've been on my new deodorant for about 4-5 weeks I think. But it keeps coming back. Last night I put some Witch Hazel on it. I've done that before too, but it didn't go anything either.
