Pimple: Pimple in your armpit means you have an infection possibly from shaving in your armpit. The infection will cause your lymph node to swell as a response to the infection. See your doctor for a possible antibiotic.

Yes: If it is small ; superficial, it will soon drain, scab, ; heal. If it is large, deep painful, you will do better to see a dr.

Often they do: If the pimple does not resolve on its own in two to three weeks, i would suggest seeing a dermatologist.
